Comes a time when you get turned around and 
 Life itself just wears you out but 
 You keep gettin' ready for the big parade 
    Oh you shine your shoes and you fake a smile 
 Salute the players with that famous style 
 'Cuz keepin' up has kept you in chains   
 I was thinkin' that if you know a way out 
 Then I'd like to go with you 
 And we can burn out like candles 
 Under that paper moon   
 They just don't know anything at all 
 They just don't know anything at all   
 If by traffic jams and big TV's 
 And hipsters trapped in their own irony but 
 If I lay and think about settelin' down   
 Ah you quit your job and you sell your car 
 You burn your clothes and you pray to the stars 
 'Cuz you swore to God that you'd never end up this way   
 I was thinkin' that if you know a way out 
 Then I'd like to go with you 
 And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon   
 They just don't know anything at all 
 They just don't know anything at all 
 At all 
 At all 
 At all 
 At all   
 Comes a time when you get turned around 
 Life itself just wears you out 
 You keep gettin' ready for that big parade
