Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy Champion sax and a girl named Sandy There is only four ways to get unraveled One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da One is a bandit up in the hills One is to love your neighbor ti will His wife gets home
Catacombs Nursery bones Winter women Growing stones Carrying babies To the river

Successful hills are here to stay Everything must be this way Gentle streets where people play Welcome to the Soft Parade
All our lives we sweat and save Building for a shallow grave Must be something else we say Somehow to defend this place Everything must be this way Everything must be this way, yeah
The Soft Parade has now begun Listen to the engines hum People out to have some fun A cobra on my left Leopard on my right, yeah
The deer woman in a silk dress Girls with beads around their necks Kiss the hunter of the green vest Who has wrestled before With lions in the night
Out of sight The lights are getting brighter The radio is moaning Calling to the dogs There are sti will a few animals Left out in the yard But its getting harder To describe sailors To the underfed
