Parade - Nouvelle Vague, Barry Adamson, Nadeah

They will show me what I want to see

We will watch without grief

We stay one step ahead of relief

You tell me we’ve been praying

For a bright and clever hell

I think we’ve been forced to our knees but I can’t tell

Sometimes I forget that we’re supposed to be in love

Sometimes I forget my position

It’s so hot in here

What are they trying to hatch?

We must not be frail, we must watch

Now that I’m out of touch with anger

Now I have nothing to live up to

And I don’t know when to stop joking

When I stop I hope I am with you

Sometimes …

What on earth is the size of my life?
