(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)
2
A ragged man came shuffling through
3
A puppet king on the 4th of June
4
And butterflies from all around
5
Settled on his paper crown
6
A pretty sight it seemed to be
7
An avenue of eternal peace
8
But he said, "What is here can soon burn down..."
9
"I'm the king of sunset town"
10
Watch a big wheel turning round
11
Some go up and some go down
12
Some go thirsty some just drown
13
"That's the law round here"
14
Said the king of sunset town
15
And in the night he comes to me
16
And the square becomes a battlefield
17
Of staring eyes that can't explain
18
The insanity and the greater game
19
Watch a big wheel turning round
20
Some go up and some go down
21
Some go thirsty some just drown
22
"That's the law round here"
23
Said the king of sunset town
24
"That's the law round here"
25
A ragged man came shuffling through
26
The corridors of this white place
27
And as he lay his body down
28
I saw the scars that lined his face
29
And injured souls came to his bed
30
To hear the stories he would tell
31
Of butterflies and summertimes
32
And everyone assembled here
33
Remembers how it used to be
34
Before the 27th came
35
This place will never be the same
36
He said
37
"I'm the king of sunset town"
38
Watch a big wheel turning round
39
Some go up and some go down
40
Some go thirsty some just drown
41
"That's the law round here"
42
"That's the law round here"
43
Said the king of sunset town
44
"I'm the king of sunset town"
