The King of Sunset Town (1997 Remaster) - Marillion

Could be honeycomb In a sea of honey A sky of honey Whose shadow, long and low Is slipping out of wet clothes? And changes into The most beautiful Iridescent blue Who knows who wrote that song of summer That blackbirds sing at dusk This is a song of colour Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust Then climb into bed and turn to dust Every sleepy light Must say goodbye To the day before it dies In a sea of honey A sky of honey Keep us close to your heart So if the skies turn dark We may live on in Comets and stars Who knows who wrote that song of summer That blackbirds sing at dusk This is a song of colour Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust Then climb into bed and turn to dust Who knows who wrote that song of summer That blackbirds sing at dusk This is a song of colour Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust Then climb into bed and turn to dust Oh sing of summer and a sunset And sing for us, so that we may remember The day writes the words right across the sky They all go all the way up to the top of the night Oh sing of summer and a sunset And sing for us, so that we may remember The day writes the words right across the sky They go all the way up to the top of the night They go all the way up to the top of the night

This sure is some kind of party It's so useful Surround my life with excuses For what I choose to lose And my name Doesn't look the same to me now now No no not me now And inside Don't you know I feel so bad? When I tried to turn away T O feel new again Candy My emotion cost me pain Did I look the same? Candy When I think about the times That I laughed away Candy The idea you'd cheat me But look again What you say 'That's my name' And I hope that I've kept you amused To wipe that spit right off my boots And when I'm home and thinking in the dark I hope I hope I hope That none of this has had to go too far When it gets too late To see me any other way And it gets so hard to hold on To everything that I want so bad yeah yeah Candy When I tried to turn away To feel new again Candy My emotion cost me pain Did I look the same? Candy When I think about the times That I laughed away Candy The idea you'd cheat me But look again What you say 'That's my name'

And if the bottle's no solution Why does it feel so warm And if that girl is no solution Why did she feel so warm And if to feel is no solution Why do I feel Why do I feel so tired Why do I feel so broken Why do I feel so outside Why do I seem so blind I'm so sick of feeling It's ruined my life If living rough is no solution Why does it ease my mind If looking back is no solution Why are we all Nothing but children Children inside Why do the Gods Sit back and watch So many lost What kind of mother Leaves a child in the traffic Turning tricks in the dark What kind of God? I crawled around inside myself It was a long way down It was a mine and it was mine And in the darkness I saw a perfect mirror Floating in space When I meet God I'm going to ask her What makes her cry What makes her laugh Is she just stars and indigo gas Does she know why Love has no end But it's dark-angel friend Tearing women and men Slowly apart Stain Don't do that Scream Don't do that Fail Never do that Never do that I want to go out Don't do that I want an adventure Just stay. I want Just stay in I want to make love And if the bottle's no solution Why does it feel so warm And if looking back is no solution Why are we all just children inside And if to feel is no solution Why does the whole damn world feel so broken So outside and out-of-sorts A perfect mirror Floating in space Waves and numbers But oh, such beautiful numbers And oh, such waves...

You're only human So am I It's such a shame we have these secrets and lies That get discovered from time to time Whatever rises eventually falls The world turns and it turns on us all You can't live life without making mistakes You can't live trying to keep the outside world away It's time to stop Beating yourself up It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault I broke a mirror Maybe two Shattered reflections That's all I have of you Crackin' like eggshell beneath my fear I couldn't breathe, I couldn't keep the outside world away Oh dear When you lie down to sleep Repeat after me It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault We're both so tired It's not your fault It's just the way we're wired

They give me maintenance drugs Said I'll be okay They give me maintenance drugs They said I'd be okay So I'm taking my time Living from day to day You gotta live No one knows how much time No one knows how much time No one knows how much time they've got left Ñ'est-ce pas? An hour before it's dark They give me maintenance drugs Said I'll be okay They test me once a year They test me once a year You have to care You have to care You have to care You have to care No one knows how much time No one knows how much time No one knows They said I'll be okay They said I'll be okay An hour before it's dark They said I'll be okay An hour before it's dark An domhan Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it This one Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it An domhan Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it This one Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it
