The Taxpayers - As the Sun Beat Down lyrics

Artist: The Taxpayers

album: "God, Forgive These Bastards" Songs From The Forgotten Life of Henry Turner


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 the sweltering garage
A sacrificial lamb in honor of the heat.
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.
A screaming baby boy now slept without a sound
As the sun beat down.
