Van Dyke Parks - This Town Goes Down at Sunset lyrics

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 pa**ing 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
