sun scales the morning sky
for the birds to breathe in tune
every day: he wakes in a state of someday soon
learnt quickly to doubleguess
every word in his brain
can't help feeling so undressed
so undersized. so unimpressed.
exercising his selfcontrol
everyone's just talk talk talk
there he goes! drowning his debts in black dog scotch
halfhearted and bleeding lead -
thickstuck in his veins
who said you'd go on like this?
you'll hit the high - it's enough!
come on! take that godgiven rest
from a life of perfect suspense.
someone, somewhere, remembers you best -
goodbye, mr sunset!
chest kickin around his throat
window shopping in the evening streets.
heading home: waving at everyone he meets
spent years trying to suppress
that ache that nobody knows
who said you'd go on like this?
you'll hit the high... it's enough.
come on! take that godgiven rest
from a life of perfect suspense.
someone, somewhere, remembers you best -
goodbye, mr sunset!
the long walk up those endless steps
toe after toe after toe after toe
who said you'd go on like this?
(god help the man who can't help himself)
you'll hit the high. it's enough!
come on! take that godgiven rest
from a life of perfect suspense.
someone, somewhere, remembers you best -
goodbye, mr sunset!
the briefest chance you'll ever collect
to know what's coming up next!
someone, somewhere, remembers you best -
goodbye! mr sunset!
