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
