Sunset Town

The lawyer is calling Or the Hawk is coming But the rockets land the same In Sunset Town, They all go to ground Maybe back from where they came The rodents and rocks The zombies in socks The big gala at the earth's core I don’t wanna travel And I don’t want no babble Can’t take the pressure no more ‘Cause here we are livin’ in Sunset Town The great coup de grace for the West Let’s stay up ‘til nine with our moonshine and vines Gettin’ tangled in the dreams we loved best When the big missile launch Rears its head around dawn, You won’t find me in no basement; I’ll be out in the reeds With my riotous deeds No remorse and no replacement We all gonna party With Thomases Hardy and Pynchon — It’s gonna be grand And when the Good Lord Jesus Both blesses and sneezes, The Seventh Lamb will fire the band ‘Cause here we are livin’ in Sunset Town The great coup de grace for the West Let’s stay up ‘til nine with our moonshine and vines Gettin’ tangled in the dreams we loved best Now there’s no desecratin’ Or deprecatin’ When Satan’s got his people to serve Let’s go riding with sin Since we’re all wired in To that unified bundle of nerves Yes here we are livin’ in Sunset Town The great coup de grace for the West Let’s stay up ‘til nine with our moonshine and vines Gettin’ tangled in the dreams we loved best
