Michael Penn - Bucket Brigade Lyrics

it's a kind of parade

it's a bucket brigade

who got it off the wire

that you'd set it and left

just to cover the theft

that would topple and empire

but you wanted the world

and it was only the heart...

only the heart of a girl



for everyone in the know

he's going to put on a show

death defying feats of daring

and for the riff and the raff

he's gonna mimeograph

a statement he's preparing

that he wanted the world

and it was only a heart...

only the heart of a girl



here we are

handing over all we know

either that or

start to blow 'til we've

run out of breath



it's a kind of parade

it's a bucket brigade

who read it off the wire

that you lost your whole world

and it was all over

the heart of a girl

only the heart of a girl

here we are

handing over all we know

either that or

start to blow 'til we've

run out of breath
