Remy zero lamplighter's parade lyrics

We're standing around

 at the New Year's Eve party

 with the bridegroom, oh

 and we climb down the stairs

 where the actress is working

 the bedroom, ah

 and it's a way of saying 

 

 Chorus:

 I'm coming down with a disease

 of too much wasting

 for one to fix 

 

 It's the purpose of the world

 you would never know it

 sometimes, now sometimes 

 

 Don't I make like it's easy

 to laugh in your face

 though I praise you for knowing

 how it's one thing to bitch

 you're so sick of this place

 it's quite another to be good

 another way of saying 

 

 Repeat chorus. 

 

 It's the purpose of the world

 but you would never know it

 sometimes, now sometimes

 (oooohhhh ahhhh)

 and you think we've got it now

 oh you think we've got it now

 the world's reach

 and the ordinary world

 do you think we've got it now?
