People come
And people go
On the North Parade
Painting pictures
Of paradise
At the penny arcade
But as the arcade penny claw
Comes a rapping
To my door
On the North Parade
They’ve all gone away
On the North Parade
Deserted again
A lamp it flickers
Behind the blind
At the end of the day
A stranger looks out
To the cove
From the pa**age way
But as the arcade penny claw
Comes a rapping
To my door
On the North Parade
They’ve all gone away
On the North Parade
Deserted again
There’s a boy
That can’t go home
He walks out here alone
On the North Parade
They’ve all gone away
On the North Parade
The World seems so strange
