© 2023, 1996 Please pick me up from the gutter, place me in your loving arms Hold me and say that you love me, today, why not lay down all our guns This is the last parade I'm taken down a grade and praying to saltpeter Please never let me fall forever They'll never let me out of here again You never do as I tell you, leave me with pains in my heart Can't I get through with the meaning, to you, without it I feel we shall part And I know, yes I know that you'll leave me So just go, well then go, but don't leave me This is my last parade I'm taking on the waves and laden with the waters Please never let me fall forever And never let me out of here again
