I feel so good today
and if I never come down
I wouldn't worry
I haven't missed anything
you can take the wide world
shove it
in a little hole
see if anything grows
see if I care
my fantastic friend
it ain't all what it seems
my fantastic friend
behind the colour parade
the colours stay the same
gold and rose and lilac too
marching down 5th avenue
see the girl with the grapesugar?
her lipstick is smeared
and the boys from the fire department
hurry on as another
stupid joker throws a bomb on the cars
heading for the jersey side
my fantastic friend
it ain't all what it seems
my fantastic friend
behind the colour parade
the colours are the same
my fantastic friend
now some other mad hatter brings the chatter to a stop -
this morning there was far
on every window south of Washington Square
my fantastic friend
behind the colour parade
the colours are the same.
