[Chorus]
Fifty years after the fair
The picture I have is so clear
Underneath the clouds in the air
Rose the Trylon and the Perisphere
[Verse 1]
And that for me was the finest of scenes
The perfect world across the river in Queens
[Chorus]
Fifty years after the fair
I drink from a different cup
But it does no good to compare
Cause nothing ever measures up
[Verse 2]
I guess just for a second we thought
That all good things would rise to the top
[Bridge]
And how beautiful it was, tomorrow
We'll never have a day of sorrow
We got through the '30s 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
The picture I have is so clear
Underneath the clouds in the air
Rose the Trylon and the Perisphere
[Verse 1]
And that for me was the finest of scenes
The perfect world across the river in Queens
[Chorus]
Fifty years after the fair
I drink from a different cup
But it does no good to compare
Cause nothing ever measures up
[Verse 2]
I guess just for a second we thought
That all good things would rise to the top
[Bridge]
And how beautiful it was, tomorrow
We'll never have a day of sorrow
We got through the '30s 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
