The Taxpayers - As the Sun Beat Down lyrics
[The Taxpayers - As the Sun Beat Down lyrics]
When the fight broke on Brighton Road
Traffic stopped
Some old man hit the pavement
And they ushered in the cops
And the camera crews arrived
And people gathered all around
As the sun beat down as the sun beat down
Picked up the phone
"It's no emergency, but come on over quick"
Ricky drove his old Ford truck over
To give us both a lift
Headed for the hospital
That big one downtown
As the sun beat down as the sun beat down
It was a day that broke records
Melting tar on every block
People dropping from the climate
In the streets
Something died inside that sweltering garage
A sacrificial lamb in honor of the heat
Yeah and
And the sun beat down and the sun beat down
And the sun beat down and the sun beat down
August 23rd, 1959
Got word from the nurse there
Hadn't been enough time
Screaming baby boy now slept without a sound
As the sun beat down
Traffic stopped
Some old man hit the pavement
And they ushered in the cops
And the camera crews arrived
And people gathered all around
As the sun beat down as the sun beat down
Picked up the phone
"It's no emergency, but come on over quick"
Ricky drove his old Ford truck over
To give us both a lift
Headed for the hospital
That big one downtown
As the sun beat down as the sun beat down
It was a day that broke records
Melting tar on every block
People dropping from the climate
In the streets
Something died inside that sweltering garage
A sacrificial lamb in honor of the heat
Yeah and
And the sun beat down and the sun beat down
And the sun beat down and the sun beat down
August 23rd, 1959
Got word from the nurse there
Hadn't been enough time
Screaming baby boy now slept without a sound
As the sun beat down
