Walkabouts - Fairground Blues lyrics

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 k**er 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
