Walking through the moon haze Concrete dreams in a plastic maze Everyone's a stranger, but they know my name Whispering numbers in a silent game Don't ask me where we're going The map's a fading stain Just shadows on the pavement And the hum of the electric train Oh-oh, it's an electric parade! Flickering lights on a promise made Oh-oh, in this electric parade We're marching steady, but the colors fade... My face on Channel 5, frozen in mid-smile Selling truths that were never true I wave at my reflection, it waves back too But the glass is cracking, and the sky’s askew Don't ask me where we're going The map's a fading stain Just shadows on the pavement And the hum of the electric train Oh-oh, it's an electric parade! Flickering lights on a promise made Oh-oh, in this electric parade We're marching steady, but the colors fade... Stop the tape rewind... Is this memory or just a sign? The road is made of questions And the answers change the line We drew the road in chalk and danced as the rain washed it away... Oh-oh, it's an electric parade! Flickering lights on a promise made Oh-oh, in this electric parade We're marching steady, but the colors fade... Half-lit faces in a midnight screen Flicker like ghosts in a rental dream I rewind the sound, but it won’t appease And I’m still waiting for the frame to freeze
