Jump, Little Children - Easter Parade lyrics

The seconds on the day of the Easter parade There was a flower child Running as fast as she can A new shade of rays and some bucket shoes And an angel of mercy strung from her hand like a balloon "Is this what you want, is this what you need?" She whispered in her ear "The day of love has come and are you awake?" The sidewalk surfer through the colorful crowd She is an island Happy as happy can be The hums and the drums of the marching band And now they say She ran and she ran through the city Careful what you do, careful what you say And the angel disappeared The day of love has come, make no mistake She picks up her feet and she's through the crowd With a desperate shout Pushing the pushers around She tears down the stairs and she's onto the streets Through the barricades, waving her hands to the sky She stops right in front of the marching band and raises her voice "The day of love has come, stop the parade" Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody really gives a damn Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody stops the marching band Eleven dancing girls in the pink and blue And they're smiling The sun's on the new polished bra** Half a dozen flutes and the lonely sound of the clarinet Pushing and pulling on the crowd Left foot up and left foot down and music to the sky The day of love has come, let's have a parade Two dark suits in the uniform from the side of the street Come a'runnin' as fast as they can She pleads on her knees to the officers "You must understand, I have had a revelation And I insist that you hear me out" But they drag her away The day of love has come, so you say Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody really gives a damn Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody stops the marching band She picks herself up and she dusted off Then spun around Holding her head in her hands Two deep breaths and she's headed home With the angel of mercy strung from her hand like a balloon "Is this what you want, is this what you need?" She whispered in her ear "The day of love has come and are you awake?" She sits in the window, the one by the door The one with the sun on the shade She looks at the smiles of the crowd on the street Watching the Easter parade Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody really gives a damn Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody stops the marching band Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody really gives a damn Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody stops the marching band Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody really gives a damn Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody stops the marching band No-no-nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody really gives a damn Nobody cares that you finally fell in love Nobody stops the marching band
