lyrics

We went to celebrate New Years
Down in Chinatown
There were drums that the Chinese played
A high school band started marching
Under the overhang
And the sounds of the street went away

Good Ol’ Ballou
Yeah we'd heard of you
But I cried today ‘cause the way that you played
I hope that the world doesn’t get to you
Remember the war starts and stops in your brain

The crane was caring fireworks
It shadowed the street
And the civil men began to cite
All of the reasons to celebrate the Chinese New Year
But no one had a light

Good Ol’ Ballou
Yeah we'd heard of you
But I cried today ‘cause the way that you played
I hope that the world doesn’t get to you
Remember the war starts and stops in your brain
