Lyric Fairground Blues

I can still remember
the coat I wore that day
yellow as a plastic moon
with a weave as thick as chains

walkin past the sideshow tents
drunker than we knew
could never fill my brother s shoes
got them Fairground Blues
got them Fairground Blues

was gone so long, I didn t know
if my brother d still be there
when I got back to the
burlesque show
four cops were standin on the stairs

brother s hands were stuck in irons
sweat had soaked his hair
said "you missed the fun in there
missed all the fun in there
you missed the fun in there"

brother s face was red and wild
cop said: "do you know this boy?
Choked a man for just his smile
this one s a killer not a boy."

My brother spit and laughed
and said: "I shoulda stuck with you
big brother shoulda stuck with you."
