Morrison put the lyrics together out of pieces of poetry he had written.
This song symbolizes an escape, a parade to be marched for all who need to escape real life and all the bulls--t and hardness it can give you and that you go through. Morrison saw this as a magical place, imaginary or real, that was all about having fun, no worries. The beginning may be seen as a cry and it in fact does present the song as an escape or a helping place people need to go to to get away and do what they want. the crazy lyrics are that in fact showing how it is crazy, it is whatever happens and anything can happen. He saw it as a place where things wern't normal and ordinary. The lines, "all our lives we sweat and save, building for a shallow grave, must be something else, we say", also signify the escape and the want for something different. we are all going to be the same way and the sweating and saving is not worth it to him. the fun and the parade is our cry for help and our time and place of fun in life or outside of it.
