Marillion King Of Sunset Town
Track 1 of _Season's End_ A ragged man came shuffling through A puppet king on the fourth 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 around Some go up, some go down. Some go thirsty, some just drown 'That's the law around 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 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 And he said.. 'I'm the King of Sunset Town' Watch a big wheel turning around Some 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]
