The Soft Parade

[00:00.20] When I was back there in seminary school
[00:04.86] There was a person there who put forth the proposition
[00:09.95] That you can petition the Lord with prayer

[00:43.22] Can you give me sanctuary
[00:50.32] I must find a place to hide
[00:55.93] A place for me to hide
[01:01.99]
[01:12.38] Can you find me soft asylum

[02:06.77] One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da
[02:12.55] One is a bandit up in the hills
[02:16.59] One is to love your neighbor 'till his wife gets home

[04:03.63] Successful hills are here to stay
[04:08.71] Everything must be this way
[04:13.67] Gentle streets where people play
[04:18.40] Welcome to the Soft Parade
[04:23.00] All our lives we sweat and save
[04:27.89] Building for a shallow grave
[04:32.52] Must be something else we say
[04:37.13] Somehow to defend this place
[04:42.08] Everything must be this way

[06:10.55] The lights are getting brighter
[06:15.63]
[06:19.74] The radio is moaning
[06:25.51] Calling to the dogs
[06:28.36] There are
[06:30.20] Still a few animals
[06:34.18] Left out in the yard
[06:37.46] But it's getting harder

[08:03.85] We need someone new (Something new)
[08:06.67] Better bring your gun
[08:08.42] Something else to get us through (Better bring your gun)
[08:13.11] When all else fails
