Lee Mellor - Liberty Street lyrics

[Verse 1: Lee Mellor] May Queen smiles and the bra** horns blare Schoolgirl twirls her baton in the air As the clown's grin drips down his paint-caked face Clipboard drags the soldier through the bright lawn chair maze Candy floss spins pink and thick The caramel corn glossed sickly sweet And who can measure the cost When a God-lost people are hungry to eat? [Chorus] The sun burns through the shade Snare snaps a beat Drives the parade Down Liberty Street Is it the heat or is it the charade? I think I'm afraid I think the [Verse 2: Lee Mellor] Sprinklers machine gun the gangrene gra** Vet pours Scotch into a trembling gla** Looks out lost through the cracked window Sees the parade pa**ing gaily below And recalls those sunny days When his ways were as carefree and innocent The star-spun banners he waved And everything that they never meant [Chorus]
