Artist/Band: Marillion
Lyrics for Song: The King Of Sunset Town
Lyrics for Album: Official Bootleg Box Set 2 [2010]



A ragged man came shuffling through

A puppet king on the 4th of June

And butterflies from all around

Settled on his paper crown

A pretty sight it seemed to be

An avenue of eternal peace

But he said, "What is here can soon burn down..."

"I'm the king of sunset town"



Watch a big wheel turning round

Some go up and some go down

Some go thirsty some just drown

"That's the law round here"

Said the king of sunset town



And in the night he comes to me

And the square becomes a battlefield

Of staring eyes that can't explain

The insanity and the greater game



Watch a big wheel turning round

Some go up and some go down

Some go thirsty some just drown

"That's the law round here"

Said the king of sunset town



A ragged man came shuffling through

The corridors of this white place

And as he lay his body down

I saw the scars that lined his face

And injured souls came to his bed

To hear the stories he would tell

Of butterflies and summertimes

And everyone assembled here

Remembers how it used to be

Before the 27th came

This place will never be the same



He said "I'm the king of sunset town"

Watch a big wheel turning round

Some go up and some go down

Some go thirsty some just drown

"That's the law round here"

Said the king of sunset town
