Her hands are in the air again   Stripped of pride   She was waiting for a sign to be let in   She tried to stop a train for him   Without shoes   And he was so amused, amused      She needs a reason to parade on   She needs a new road to pave   She needs a reason to parade on   It's wearing her outsides thin   There's someone there to save      You wonder why she gives and gives   Till it burns   And there is nothing he can give her in return   She'll live and die by make-believe   Her frozen heart   Well he can't wait around while she gets blown apart      She needs a reason to parade on   She needs a new road to pave   She needs a reason to parade on   It's wearing her outsides thin   There's someone there to save      The distance won't know which way you should go   'Cause we are not built so we can float   We are what we are   But that seems so far   Parting the Red Sea is easier, easier      It's time to introduce herself   She's dethroned   Like some lonesome dusty book upon his shelf      She needs a reason to parade on   She needs a new road to pave   She needs a reason to parade on   It's wearing her outsides thin   There's someone there to save, oh   And there's nothing I can say   And there's nothing I can say
