| You got lost in the crowd
|
| The waves of people in Chinatown
|
| Can’t get behind this mystery
|
| Do you believe everything you see
|
| Just a shadow in the streetlight
|
| Just a shadow on the wall
|
| A silhouette, face in the darkness
|
| I’ve been waiting for your call
|
| We’ll go marching in the night parade
|
| We’ll be marching in the night parade
|
| I combed the streets like cloak and dagger
|
| I put the word out on the waterfront
|
| We were living hard, living fast
|
| Outrunning ghosts from the past
|
| Just a shadow in the moonlight
|
| Just a shadow on the wall
|
| A silhouette, the kiss of death
|
| Did somebody take the fall
|
| We’ll go marching in the night parade
|
| We’ll be marching in the night parade
|
| Mary, Mary, Mary I’m knocking on your door
|
| Mary, Mary sanctuary can’t see you no more
|
| From out of the past a stranger came
|
| And carried you away
|
| I stood on the corner, the scene of the crime
|
| And I could hear her say
|
| We’ll be marching in the night parade
|
| We’ll be marching (marching) in the night parade
|
| We’ll go marching (marching) in the night parade
|
| We’ll go marching (marching) in the night parade
|
| In the night parade
|
| All y’all living in a street opera
|
| Are we just living in a street opera
|
| We’ll be marching in the night parade
|
| And we’ll be marching (marching out here) in the night parade
|
| (In the night parade)
|
| Walking the night beat
|
| The rhythm of the street
|
| Walkin to the heartbeat of the city
|
| Walking the night beat
|
| The rhythm of the street
|
| Moving to the heartbeat of the city (Moving to the heartbeat of the city)
|
| We’ll be marching in the night parade |
