The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging (Live from The Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA, 24th January 1975)

Lyrics

"It's the last great adventure left to mankind!" Screams a drooping lady Offering her dream dolls at less than extortionate prices And as the notes and coins are taken out I'm taken in, to the factory floor For the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging All ready to use It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging I just need a fuse Got people stocked in every shade Must be doing well with trade Stamped, addressed, in odd fatality That еvens out their personality With profit potеntial marked by a sign I can recognize some of the production line No bite at all in labour bondage Just wrinkled wrappers or human bandage It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging All ready to use It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging I just need a fuse The hall runs like clockwork Their hands mark out the time Empty in their fullness like a frozen pantomime Everyone's a sales representative Wearing slogans in their shrine Dishing out fail-safe superlative Brother John is No. 9 It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging All ready to use It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging I just need a fuse And the decor on the ceiling has planned out their future day I see no sign of free will, so I guess I have to pay Pay my way for the Grand Parade For the Grand Parade, for the Grand Parade It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging All ready to use It's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging I just need a fuse Grand Parade Grand Parade Grand Parade Grand Parade Thank you very much This particular point in the story of Hero Rael is moving underground into an almost perfect reconstruction of the streets of New York City And begins to recollect of his childhood memories he begins to think we, his first romantic adventures And how bought this to book tilted from discount bookstore "Erogenous Zones & Difficulties in Overcoming… — Finding Them" This first romantic adventure after many months of study of the for mention book He mastered these emotions from initial arousal to completion and a mere 78 seconds leaving to opposite number not literally titillated And he was left prickly porcupine
