Marillion - King Of Sunset Town Lyrics
Track 1 of _Season's End_A ragged man came shuffling throughA puppet king on the fourth of JuneAnd butterflies from all aroundSettled on his paper crownA pretty sight it seemed to beAn avenue of eternal peaceBut he said 'What is here can soon burn down...I'm the King of Sunset Town'Watch a big wheel turning aroundSome go up, some go down.Some go thirsty, some just drown'That's the law around here'Said the King of Sunset TownAnd in the night he comes to meAnd the square becomes a battlefieldOf staring eyes that can't explainThe insanity and the greater gameA ragged man came shuffling throughThe corridors of this white placeAnd as he lay his body downI saw the scars that lined his faceAnd injured souls came to his bedTo hear the stories he would tellOf Butterflies and SummertimesAnd everyone assembled hereRemembers how it used to beBefore the 27th cameThis place will never be the sameAnd he said..'I'm the King of Sunset Town'Watch a big wheel turning aroundSome go up, some go down.Some go thirsty, some just drown'That's the law around here'Said the King of Sunset Town[JOHN HELMER and STEVE HOGARTH
