Fifty Years After The Fair Lyrics

Fifty Years After The Fair lyrics

Fifty years after the fair
the picture I have is so clear
underneath the
clouds in the air
rose the Tyrlon and the Perisphere
and that for me was
the finest of scenes
that perfect world across the river in Queens
Fifty
years after the fair
I drink from a different cup
but it does no good to
compare
'cause nothing ever measures up
I guess just for a second we
thought
that all good things would rise to the top
        But how
beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'
        we'll never have a day of sorrow
  
     we got through the '30's, but our belts were tight
        we conceived
of a future with no hope in sight
        we've got decades ahead of us to
get it right
        I swear - fifty years after the fair
Fifty years
after the fair
I live in tomorrow town
even on a wing and a prayer
the
future never came around
It hurts to even think of those days
the damage
we do
by the hopes that we raise
        But how beautiful it was -
'tomorrow'
        we'll never have a day of sorrow
        we got
through the '30's, but our belts were tight
        we conceived of a future
with no hope in sight
        we've got decades ahead of us to get it
right
        I swear - fifty years after the fair
