We've been dancing to heartbeats in our mind
Friends and strangers are watching from the side
Nights roll on, we're forever holding strong

And I really must say
It's a beautiful parade
What I really must say
It's a beautiful parade
And I can't stop the wheels that turn
With the words I can never say
So I hold on to something
Just long enough
To watch it all float away
 
We’ve marched miles, thumbing for a ride
And fallen asleep beside the lonely roads at night
Cars roll on, we’re singing the same songs
 
And I really must say
It's a beautiful parade
What I really must say
It's a beautiful parade
And I can't stop the wheels that turn
With the words I can never say
So I hold on to something
Just long enough
To watch it all float away

Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
I've followed you around
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
It's wearing me out
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
I could never explain
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
But I'd do it again, again, again, again

And I really must say
It's a beautiful parade
What I really must say
It's a beautiful parade
And I can't stop the wheels that turn
With the words I can never say
So I hold on to something
Just long enough
To watch it all float away
