Marillion - The King Of Sunset Town

The King Of Sunset Town

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

Said the king of sunset town
"That's the law round here"
Some go thirsty some just drown
Some go up and some go down
Watch a big wheel turning round
He said "I'm the king of sunset town"

This place will never be the same
Before the 27th came
Remembers how it used to be
And everyone assembled here
Of butterflies and summertimes
To hear the stories he would tell
And injured souls came to his bed
I saw the scars that lined his face
And as he lay his body down
The corridors of this white place
A ragged man came shuffling through

Said the king of sunset town
"That's the law round here"
Some go thirsty some just drown
Some go up and some go down
Watch a big wheel turning round

The insanity and the greater game
Of staring eyes that can't explain
And the square becomes a battlefield
And in the night he comes to me

Said the king of sunset town
"That's the law round here"
Some go thirsty some just drown
Some go up and some go down
Watch a big wheel turning round

"I'm the king of sunset town"
But he said, "What is here can soon burn down..."
An avenue of eternal peace
A pretty sight it seemed to be
Settled on his paper crown
And butterflies from all around
A puppet king on the 4th of June
A ragged man came shuffling through
