Harper Simon Veterans Parade lyrics

It's a geek now for lift off for you
Everything has come to 'it's gonna be a beautiful year'
Everybody's got a calling card now
Everyone wants to play the game
Everyone's a name around here
You can stand the shade at the veterans' parade
Ain't about to rain, can't fall
So far I'll except to fade away, it's a small price to pay
It doesn't mean a lot to you
I get confused, why all the attention?
Then I forget the mention
I know what you're going through
You can stand the shade at the veterans' parade
Ain't about to rain, can't fire
Or you can do what you wanna do
You can see who you wanna see
You can do ?? position, you can be who you wanna be
Heart pealing in the atmosphere
I try and stay above it all

I will never heal a pear, had a strange reaction
I don't insist that you feel bad
Just 'cause you made a maze all in the market
And who will mind to put you down?
We just missed you being around
You can start the cliché at the veterans' parade
Ain't about to rain, can't fire
Or you can do what you wanna do
You can see who you wanna see
You can take a ?? position
You can be who you wanna be
Yeah, you can do what you have to do
Think up what you'll wanna be
But this is no imaginary condition
You gonna, gonna be.
