This Town Goes Down At Sunset lyrics


Van Dyke Parks

This town goes down at sunset
When the hills start turning red
The streets roll up at eight o clock
Everybody goes off to bed
Everybody goes off to bed

There s someone callin someone names
You can hear a screen door slam
A car goes skatin down the road
Everybody gets out of bed
Everybody gets out of bed

You took the key to my heart s door
And you set off on your own
I shook it off as a passing phase
Everybody must come back home
Everybody must come back home

This town gets up at daybreak
When the hills start turnin blue
A whistle blows a rooster crows
Everybody s got things to do
Everybody s got things to do
