Текст песни: Cory's Carnival + перевод

Officer Friendly kicks off his shift at 9am

Picks up the kids from school and then goes back to bed

His wife would have left him if only she’d known him yesterday

What would the neighbours think?

She was his birthday girl

He knows which way the story goes

He knows how the wind blows

Old Mrs Carver misses her daughter Julia

Waits for the phone to ring beside the stair

Nobody told her

Nobody tells her anything

She is waiting on parades that never come

Always waiting on parades that just won’t come

She knows which way the story goes

She knows how the wind blows

And I know it isn’t right

But something’s up at night in the suburbs

Standing in a line

Wait until we die and then it’s over
