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."  got them Fairground Blues X4
