The Legend Of Peqleq Sullivan Songtext
1871 was the year underneath an October sky When a windy city man had set out with a plan to set a fire but nobody knows why So Pegleg headed out back with a match and a bucket of kerosene Little did he know that the wind would blow through the streets with anarchy Pegleg didn't have an alibi He didn't have a story to tell But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell Cuz he burned the whole damn city Watched it all go down Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground yeah he burned that beautiful city He torched that beautiful town Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground Flames spread fast every night While they passed through the alleys and the dead end streets From suburban doors to the lakefront shore demolishing everything And pegleg never got blamed for the mess made Said he never broke the law But all that remained was the charred black stains Proving every things his fault Pegleg didn't have an alibi He didn't have a story to tell But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell Cuz he burned the whole damn city Watched it all go down Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground yeah he burned that beautiful city He torched that beautiful town Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground Of all the books printed on his terrain None raised the flag on one mans legacy Now everybody knows the truth of the stories being exposed So Pegleg's going down in infamy. Cuz he burned the whole damn city Watched it all go down Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground yeah he burned that beautiful city He torched that beautiful town Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground [x3]
