AIMEE MANN - Fifty Years After The Fair lyrics
rate meFifty years after the fair<br>The picture I have is so clear<br>Underneath the clouds in the air<br>Rose the tyrlon and the perisphere<br>And that for me was the finest of scenes<br>That perfect world across the river in queens<br>Fifty years after the fair<br>I drink from a different cup<br>But it does no good to compare<br>'cause nothing ever measures up<br>I guess just for a second we thought<br>That all good things would rise to the top<br><br>But how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'<br>We'll never have a day of sorrow<br>We got through the '30's, but our belts were tight<br>We conceived of a future with no hope in sight<br>We've got decades ahead of us to get it right<br>I swear - fifty years after the fair<br><br>Fifty years after the fair<br>I live in tomorrow town<br>Even on a wing and a prayer<br>The future never came around<br>It hurts to even think of those days<br>The damage we do<br>By the hopes that we raise<br><br>But how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'<br>We'll never have a day of sorrow<br>We got through the '30's, but our belts were tight<br>We conceived of a future with no hope in sight<br>We've got decades ahead of us to get it right<br>I swear - fifty years after the fair
