Lyrics
A ragged man came shuffling through
A puppet king on the 4th of June
And butterflies from all around
Well, they did settled on his paper crown
A pretty sight it seemed to be
Like an avenue of eternal peace
But he said, "What is here can soon burn down
I'm the king of sunset town"
Some 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
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
"That's the law 'round here"

Good evening
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
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
He said, "I'm the king of sunset town
I'm the king of sunset town, I'm the king of sunset town
I am the king of sunset town, I'm the king of sunset town"
Some 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"
I said, "That's the law 'round here
I'm the king of sunset town
I'm the king of sunset town
I am the king of sunset town
I'm the king of sunset town"
Hello
What did I say in Poland?
That was all wrong, wasn't it?
