Fifty Years After The Fair lyrics
by Aimee Mann
Fifty years after the fairThe picture I have is so clearUnderneath the clouds in the airRose the tyrlon and the perisphereAnd that for me was the finest of scenesThat perfect world across the river in queensFifty years after the fairI drink from a different cupBut it does no good to compare'cause nothing ever measures upI guess just for a second we thoughtThat all good things would rise to the topBut how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'We'll never have a day of sorrowWe got through the '30's, but our belts were tightWe conceived of a future with no hope in sightWe've got decades ahead of us to get it rightI swear - fifty years after the fairFifty years after the fairI live in tomorrow townEven on a wing and a prayerThe future never came aroundIt hurts to even think of those daysThe damage we doBy the hopes that we raiseBut how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'We'll never have a day of sorrowWe got through the '30's, but our belts were tightWe conceived of a future with no hope in sightWe've got decades ahead of us to get it rightI swear - fifty years after the fair
