Night parade


You got lost in the crowd
The waves of people in Chinatown
Can't get behind this mystery
Do you believe everything you see

Just a shadow in the streetlight
Just a shadow on the wall
A silhouette, face in the darkness
I've been waiting for the call

Chorus:
We'll go marching in the night parade
We'll be marching in the night parade

I combed the streets like cloak and dagger
I put the word out on the waterfront
We were living hard, living fast
Outrunning ghosts from the past

Just a shadow in the moonlight
Just a shadow on the wall
A silhouette, the kiss of death
Did somebody take the fall

Chorus

Mary, Mary, Mary I'm knocking on your door
Mary, Mary sanctuary can't see you no more
From out of the past a stranger came
And carried you away
I stood on the corner, the scene of the crime
And I could here her say

Chorus

We're living in a street opera
Are we just living in a street opera

Chorus

Walking the night beat
The rhythm of the street
Moving to the heartbeat of the city

Chorus

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Band was a Canadian-American rock group formed in Toronto in 1967 and disbanded in 1976, before reuniting in 1983 until 1999. The original lineup consisted of Robbie Robertson (guitar), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, and Levon Helm. Considered one of the most influential rock bands in American music, The Band rose to fame in the 1970s with a folk-rock sound characterized by complex orchestral arrangements and poetic lyrics. Their debut album, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), is considered a classic of the genre and helped define the sound of American music in the 1970s. Among The Band's most representative songs are "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The band collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan, with whom they toured in the 1960s and 1970s. The deaths of Richard Manuel in 1980 and Levon Helm in 2012 marked the end of an era for The Band.
