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
