World's Fair

Stumbling through 63
The world seemed dark and terse
They killed JFK and blew up children
How could it get any worse
And you saw him with his shades and you saw him flick a cig
Did you know you'd fall so hard for a boy
Who still just a little kid

Did you go to the worlds fair?
Ride around on the ferris wheel
Queens breeze in your hair?
Did you go to the worlds fair?

69 in the crosshairs
Cruising in his car
Sunday drives in Babylon
Hanging garden state walls
In a week hell be off to school 
And you'll be stuck here alone
At least he's not in the army now
And its guaranteed that hell come home
Do you dream of way back there?

When you went to the worlds fair?
Riding around on the ferris wheel
Queens breeze in your hair?
Did you go to the worlds fair?

They carted half the fair away
Put it up at Disneyworld and patrons pay and pay
The rest is crumbling into rust
Out of time into the dust

Two Thousand Ten don’t feel so grand
In sixty-four i wanted to hold your hand
And as you lay and breath your last
I see you sink into the past

You’re still the boy with the cigarette
You’re still the eyes I can’t forget
You’ve got the shades, you’ve got that steel
Forever riding on that wheel

Did you go to the worlds fair?
Fly round in the summer air
Queens breeze in your hair?
Did you go to the worlds fair?
