IV. Neon Unicorn Parade

STUDIO

[Intro: Glittering Synth Arpeggio, Harp, Distant Brass] [Children’s Choir, Dreamlike] Lights are waking... Streets are shining... [Spoken Voice] Make way for the midnight procession. [Drums Enter] [Verse 1] Down the boulevard of starlight Past the fountains made of blue Silver wheels and golden feathers Every dream is coming through Trumpets bloom from crystal rooftops Ribbon comets cross the air Someone paints the moon in fuchsia Someone hangs stars everywhere Then the crowd begins to shimmer Like a thousand mirrored flames And the horses made of neon Come dancing through the gates [Pre-Chorus] Raise the banners Ring the bells Tonight the whole sky Breaks its spell Pink and violet Gold and green Here comes the strangest Thing you’ve ever seen [Chorus] It’s the Neon Unicorn Parade Glitter thunder down the avenue Neon Unicorn Parade Every impossible thing comes true Hooves of silver Horns of light Running circles through the night Wave your wings And don’t be late For the Neon Unicorn Parade [Post-Chorus] Hey! Hey! Round they go! Hey! Hey! Let it glow! [Verse 2] There are queens in mirrored helmets There are kings on roller skates There are dancers dressed like planets Spinning through the palace gates Purple lions pull a carriage Made of diamonds, smoke, and sound Clockwork birds explode in color As the rhythm shakes the ground Every balcony is crowded Every rooftop starts to sway And the streets become a river Made of music, light, and spray [Pre-Chorus] Raise the banners Ring the bells Tonight the whole sky Breaks its spell Silver jackets Laser rain Everybody Join the chain [Chorus] It’s the Neon Unicorn Parade Glitter thunder down the avenue Neon Unicorn Parade Every impossible thing comes true Hooves of silver Horns of light Running circles through the night Wave your wings And don’t be late For the Neon Unicorn Parade [Instrumental Disco Procession] [Brass Riff] [Strings Answer] [Synth Bass Breakdown] [Group Chant] Left! Right! Turn around! Stars above! Lights below! Left! Right! Round we go! Draveria! Steal the show! [Bridge: Half-Time Orchestral] Maybe paradise Isn’t somewhere far away Maybe paradise Is what we make today When the strange are celebrated And the lonely find their place When the whole world turns together Under one enormous blaze [Orchestra Builds] So paint the night In ultraviolet Turn every silence Into riotous light If the world says “Walk in line” We’ll roller-skate Across the sky [Final Chorus] It’s the Neon Unicorn Parade Glitter thunder down the avenue Neon Unicorn Parade Every impossible thing comes true Hooves of silver Horns of light Running circles through the night Raise your hands Illuminate The Neon Unicorn Parade! [Choir] Parade! Parade! [Lead Vocal] Keep it glowing! [Choir] Parade! Parade! [Lead Vocal] Keep it going! [Full Ensemble] Every color! Every name! Everybody joins the flame! Through the city! Past the gates! NEON UNICORN PARADE! [Extended Disco Outro] [Brass, Strings, Funk Guitar, Handclaps] [Group Vocals] Ride the light! Ride the light! Ride the light! [Music begins fading into distant carnival bells] [Whispered Voice] The moonflower carnival is opening...
