Genesis Lyrics

Album: ...And Then There Were Three...

Ballad of Big Lyrics

"It's the last great adventure left to mankind"

- Screams a drooping lady

Offering her dreamdolls at less that extortionate prices

And as the notes and coins are taken out

I'm taken in, to the factory floor

For the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- All ready to use

The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- I just need a fuse

Got people stocked in every shade

You must be doing well with trade

Stamped, addressed, in odd fatality

That evens out their personality

With profit potential marked by a sign

I can recognize some of the production line

No bite at all in labour bondage

Just wrinkled wrappers on human bandage

Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- All ready to use

It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- I just need a fuse

The hall runs like clockwork

Their hands mark out the time

Empty in their fullness

Like frozen pantomime

Everyone's sales representative

Wearing slogans in their shrine

Dishing out fail-safe superlative

Brother John is No. 9

The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- All ready to use

It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- I just need a fuse

And the decor on the ceiling

Planned out their future day

I see no sign of freewill

So I guess I have to pay

Pay my way

For the Grand Parade

Grand Parade

Oh, the Grand Parade

Yes, the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- All ready to use

The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

- Just need a fuse

Grand Parade

Grand Parade ...
