When the levee broke at the county fair
I was threading my fingers through your hair
Feeling all the things that a boy should feel
When you reach the peak of the ferris wheel
When the levee broke at the county fair
You heard a shreak so loud it was hard to bare
I put my lips to your ear and whispered "I know, I know"
And held you as the big brown water rose
And all the little bowls of gold fish
Were now free to swim just where they wish
And now the lucky ones on the tunnel of love
Were now floating out above the shuttle buses
But it never did rain
It was just a big brown wave
When the levee broke at the county fair
All the funnel cake girls just froze in fear
And now the toot [?] tooted like it shouldn't toot
As the hornet house tree lift got a hornet for real
When the levee broke at the county fair
There were bodies by corn and soggy sawdust bears
I threw a quivering kiss to your cute [?]
And we slipped into the night like lovers do
And all the little bowls of gold fish
Were now free to swim just where they wish
And all the sorry souls at the tractor poll
Were all clawing water trying to stay afloat
But it never did rain
It was just a big brown wave
But it never did rain
It was just a big brown wave
I see that light, babe
I see that light, babe
I see that...
