Watchmen - Soft Parade Lyrics

Music J. Serlin/Words D. Greaves)

Never the hero of the soft parade
And I asked and I said to you
Are you sorry for this
Picked up the needle by the handle today
And I asked and I begged you
To be sorry for this
Make up your face
Don't try to replace
I'll go quite a bit farther than you've ever been
Never thought I'd lose
Always thought I'd win
Would've never believed it 'till I saw it that day
Underneath your clothes and I'm sorry I looked at it
Long days are long
Never thought I'd lose
I'll go quite a bit higher than you've ever been
Never though I'd lose
Always thought I'd win
