Fanfare

Here comes the fanfare

Just picture them all in their underwear

You won't mind if they stare

All you listeners beware

We've got something new for you

Something for all you boys and girls to stomp your feet

to

It's something old, and it's hardly been used

Something strange has crossed my mind

What if we left you all behind?

Would you be scared?

Would you be ready for the fanfare?

There's a parade in the name of Old King Cade

And the sisters of mercy and the motorcade

Too many colors for one to name

Is this real or is it just a game?

Swing together like marionettes and

Dance the sound of the castanets

Little boys on their skateboards playing too rough

Little girls telling jokes and swinging double dutch

and

I can only stay here so long before I get too scared

and leave

I've never seen everyone so happy there's just so much

to believe

And I can hardly wait for next year

For the fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare

A great big bang

Let the fire commence

With the sound of the Tabernacle Choir

Of the ill intent

Shameless now we are

As we're draped in night and stars

There's animals in us all

I can only stay here so long before I get too scared

and leave

I've never seen everyone so happy there's just so much

to believe

And I can hardly wait for next year

For the fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare

Jessica and Janine, what do you think?

Are we gonna take this shit and run?

Are we gonna stay here and blink?

And who do you trust?

Are you in the dark to the Ginger Prince?

Fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare, fanfare,

fanfare, fanfare
