It was a perfumed summernight She could feel the breeze on her naked Arms The Moonlight Parade was playing He thought: she'll be a woman It was a perfumed summernight They were playing He wanted to break through delight She thought it wasn't wise He said close your eyes And let yourself float to new highs Feel the vibes You don't have to be afraid It's the Moonlight Parade They fell in the warmth of the sand There are tones of weapons Used in the name of liberty Is that how it had to be Why do we have to die And give our souls away Let the children cry Teach them to pray Said God was on our side But where is he today Seems like he has never been on time This is a special Rendez-vous Suddenly the darkness meets the light They took it away from us Now they've got to give it back (Chorus and ad lib.)
