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 

Verse 2 (as before)
=======
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 

Chorus (as before)
======
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

Verse 3
=======
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
