People come and people go On the North Parade Painting pictures of paradise At the penny arcade But as the arcade penny claw Comes a rapping to my door On the North Parade They've all gone away On the North Parade Deserted again ♪ A lamp it flickers behind the blind At the end of the day A stranger looks out to the cove From the passage way But as the arcade penny claw Comes rapping to my door On the North Parade They've all gone away On the North Parade Deserted again ♪ There's a boy that can't go home He walks out here alone On the North Parade They've all gone away On the North Parade The world seems so strange La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
