1
A ragged man came shuffling through
2
A puppet king on the fourth of June
3
And butterflies from all around
4
Settled on his paper crown
5
A pretty sight it seemed to be
6
An avenue of eternal peace
7
But he said, "What is here can soon burn down..."
8
"I'm the king of Sunset Town."
9
Watch a big wheel turning 'round
10
Some go up, and some go down
11
Some go thirsty, some just drown
12
"That's the law 'round here,"
13
Said the king of Sunset Town
14
And in the night he comes to me
15
And the square becomes a battlefield
16
Of staring eyes that can't explain
17
The insanity and the greater game
18
Watch a big wheel turning 'round
19
Some go up, and some go down
20
Some go thirsty, some just drown
21
"That's the law 'round here,"
22
Said the king of sunset town
23
A ragged man came shuffling through
24
The corridors of this white place
25
And as he lay his body down
26
I saw the scars that lined his face
27
And injured souls came to his bed
28
To hear the stories he would tell
29
Of butterflies and summertimes
30
And everyone assembled here
31
Remembers how it used to be
32
Before the twenty-seventh came
33
This place will never be the same
34
He said, "I'm the king of sunset town."
35
Watch a big wheel turning 'round
36
Some go up, and some go down
37
Some go thirsty, some just drown
38
"That's the law round here,"
39
Said the king of sunset town
