part of song "Baby Night" (lyrics found) 

* From album: "Just A Poke"

** Inspired by: The Doors "The Soft Parade"

The soft parade has now begun 

Listen to the engine's hum 

Gentle streets where people play 

It was meant to be that way 

All our lives we sweat and save 

Digging for a shallow grave 

Welcome to the soft parade

Welcome to the soft parade 

It was meant to be that way 

Gentle streets where people play 

Working for a shallow grave 

All our lives we sweat and save 

It was meant to be that way 

Welcome to the soft parade

The soft parade has now begun 

Listen to the engines hum 

Gentle streets where people play 

It was meant to be that way 

All our lives we sweat and save 

Digging for a shallow grave 

[Welcome to the soft parade] 4x

Sweet Smoke "Baby Night" (lyrics found) 

* From album: "Just A Poke"

In a world of last teardrop

In a world of last teardrop

You know it sounds so good

Sounds so good

Well, you know it sounds so good

You hope it never stops

Never, never, never stops

Never, never, never, never stops

If you hear sounds of bitter weeping

To be sure the God of Light is sleeping

No time for mirth

Much death and birth

Pain shakes the earth

You hope it never stops

Never, never stops

Never, never, never, never stops

With the time your illusive man's gone

The soft parade has now begun 

Listen to the engine's hum 

Gentle streets where people play 

It was meant to be that way 

All our lives we sweat and save 

Digging for a shallow grave 

Welcome to the soft parade

Welcome to the soft parade 

It was meant to be that way 

Gentle streets where people play 

Working for a shallow grave 

All our lives we sweat and save 

It was meant to be that way 

Welcome to the soft parade

The soft parade has now begun 

Listen to the engine's hum 

Gentle streets where people play 

It was meant to be that way 

All our lives we sweat and save 

Digging for a shallow grave 

[Welcome to the soft parade] 4x

In a world of last teardrops

In a world of last teardrops

You know it sounds so good

Sounds so good

Well, you know it sounds so good

You hope it never stops

Never, never, never, never stops

Never, never, never, never

And if you hear sounds of bitter weeping

To be sure the God of Light is sleeping

No time for mirth

Much death and birth

Pain shakes the earth

You hope it never stops

Never, never, never, never stops

Never, never, never, never
