Everybody was ecstatic[00:00:07]

'Bout the light show on the farm[00:00:10]

And everyone got crazy[00:00:14]

And nobody got harmed[00:00:17]

And the five televisions[00:00:20]

Huge upon the stage[00:00:23]

Had come to pay their union dues[00:00:26]

And make a living wage[00:00:29]

And the bathroom was the clubhouse[00:00:32]

Where the colors all got made[00:00:35]

And plans were cast in feathers[00:00:39]

For the thanksgiving day parade[00:00:42]

And the dj spins his records[00:00:49]

From here out to the sun[00:00:53]

And he flings them through a big hole[00:00:56]

In the ozone one by one[00:00:59]

And somewhere beyond mercury[00:01:02]

The wax begins to melt[00:01:05]

And we touched a perfect stranger[00:01:08]

And we loved the way it felt[00:01:11]

And we all hung together[00:01:14]

In our crew cuts and our braids[00:01:17]

Floating down broadway[00:01:21]

Above the thanksgiving day parade[00:01:23]

And you and I were discussing natalie[00:01:31]

While you poised to thrust above her[00:01:34]

And I told you how I admire her[00:01:38]

And will always need to love her[00:01:41]

And I told you how I lost[00:01:44]

My best friend mr[00:01:47]

Neill[00:01:49]

And we slowly started dancing[00:01:50]

And began slowly to heal[00:01:53]

And then we all held hands[00:01:56]

And no one was afraid[00:02:00]

On our way to sell our sculptures[00:02:03]

At the thanksgiving day parade[00:02:06]

And michelangelo finally came down[00:02:13]

After four years on the ceiling[00:02:16]

He said he'd lost his funding[00:02:20]

And the paint had started peeling[00:02:23]

And he told us that his patron[00:02:26]

His holiness[00:02:29]

The pope[00:02:30]

Was demanding productivity[00:02:32]

With which our friend just couldn't cope[00:02:35]

And he rode off on his skateboard[00:02:38]

With his brushes and his blade[00:02:41]

Muttering something 'bout some food[00:02:44]

And the thanksgiving day parade[00:02:47]

And we who were born in one millennium[00:02:54]

And will die in the next[00:02:58]

Are slightly underappreciated[00:03:01]

And slightly oversexed[00:03:04]

And as the seconds and the minutes[00:03:07]

Start to vanish one by one[00:03:10]

I'm watching more cartoons[00:03:13]

As I get my toenails done[00:03:16]

And we went downtown to deliver[00:03:19]

Turkeys to people with aids[00:03:22]

And then we headed uptown[00:03:25]

To the thanksgiving day parade[00:03:28]

And the music keeps on grinding[00:03:36]

And the electrophonic crunch[00:03:39]

And my father's hair is thinning[00:03:42]

And my mom ate some for lunch[00:03:45]

And you[00:03:48]

You were my babysitter[00:03:49]

And you let me break my tooth[00:03:51]

And we sit here tied together[00:03:54]

In a bar in the back booth[00:03:57]

And the band is in an uproar[00:04:00]

Only the drum machine's been paid[00:04:03]

And we'll have to bring our own tunes[00:04:06]

To the thanksgiving day parade[00:04:09]

Australians are the coolest[00:04:16]

People in the world[00:04:20]

Let's all go down under[00:04:23]

With strings of colored pearls[00:04:26]

And lay them at the feet[00:04:29]

Of the heirs of english crime[00:04:32]

And listen to old men at work[00:04:35]

And have a real good time[00:04:38]

And we dug until we hit the rocks[00:04:41]

Then we threw away the spade[00:04:44]

And built a platform to get a better view[00:04:47]

Of the thanksgiving day parade[00:04:50]

And I love whoever's next to me[00:04:57]

I love them so[00:05:00]

So much[00:05:02]

They let me lean against them[00:05:03]

Like a beautiful crutch[00:05:06]

And everyone should come up[00:05:09]

On the stage and grab the mike[00:05:12]

And tell us one by one[00:05:15]

Who they are and what they like[00:05:18]

And the babies are the only ones[00:05:21]

To have lately gotten laid[00:05:24]

And I'm feeling young and eager[00:05:27]

For the thanksgiving day parade[00:05:30]

And you explained to me that without your fans[00:05:38]

You'd be back out on the street[00:05:41]

With nothing but chitlins on your plate[00:05:44]

And splinters in your feet[00:05:47]

And if you die[00:05:50]

You're gone you said[00:05:52]

And your friends are left behind[00:05:53]

And you'll be a statistic[00:05:56]

And we'll be deaf and blind[00:05:59]

And darkness is a virtue[00:06:02]

And molasses is not afraid[00:06:04]

To slow down the countdown[00:06:08]

To the thanksgiving day parade[00:06:11]

And somewhere in the distance[00:06:29]

An orchestra shows its face[00:06:32]

With natalie on the oboe[00:06:35]

Ty on double bass[00:06:38]

John plays the viola[00:06:41]

Slik the tenor sax[00:06:44]

James he blows harmonica[00:06:47]

In vanilla skin tight slacks[00:06:49]

Hugo oozes alto sax[00:06:53]

Ivory the trombone[00:06:56]

Masuda squawks the trumpet[00:06:58]

Andre xylophone[00:07:02]

Ron he shreds the violin[00:07:05]

In a green italian suit[00:07:07]

Mike talks on the telephone[00:07:11]

On a tape with an endless loop[00:07:13]

Geoff he blows the clarinet[00:07:17]

With an old time rockin' feel[00:07:19]

Charlie dings the triangle[00:07:22]

Dave the glockenspiel[00:07:25]

Chris puffs on the tuba[00:07:28]

H a big bass drum[00:07:31]

Alfonso throbs the cello[00:07:34]

Like he would a woman[00:07:37]

With his thumb[00:07:38]

And high up on the podium[00:07:40]

In tails with his baton poised[00:07:43]

Banksy leads the orchestra[00:07:46]

In a glorious[00:07:49]

Awful noise[00:07:50]

And on a float of dripping oil paint[00:07:51]

The orchestra[00:07:55]

It played[00:07:56]

Kissing the whole universe[00:07:58]

In the thanksgiving day parade[00:08:00]

And life is like a fairy tale[00:08:36]

Every step feels like a dream[00:08:39]

That keeps on getting nearer[00:08:42]

And more and more extreme[00:08:45]

And we just got switched with venus[00:08:48]

And we're closer to the sun[00:08:51]

And I got no problem with it[00:08:54]

Nor should anyone[00:08:57]

And the cops just blew on in here[00:09:00]

And we're in some kind of raid[00:09:03]

I just hope they will release us[00:09:05]

For the thanksgiving day parade[00:09:08]
