The Today Parade

(album: The Tingly Circus - 2007)

Now is the time I'll make my escape
From the past, I will emerge, raising my arms
Waving my hands, I wonder, will you be waiting
A lovely friend, to welcome me back?

Now is all we have
The future is merely a concept

Have you been waiting here long?
I promised I'd try to keep in touch
But I got so caught up
It took all my strength just to stand back up
I got lost in my thoughts
I got so lost in my thoughts

But I finally found my way
Out of the maze
I thought I was doomed but then I realized
It was my thought that led me astray
And now I stand here in the center
Of this parade, looking around at all the wonder

My eyes, aflame
The fire in my heart
Is burning brighter with each breath I take
Oh yeah, now is all we have
The snake, it laughs
The snake, it laughs
The snake, it laughs
The snake, its laughs
