A ragged man came shuffling through
  A puppet king on the fourth of June
  And butterflies from all around
  Settled on his paper crown
  A pretty sight it seemed to be
  An avenue of eternal peace
  But he said 'What is here can soon burn down...
  I'm the King of Sunset Town'
  Watch a big wheel turning around
  Some go up, some go down.
  Some go thirsty, some just drown
  'That's the law around here'
  Said the King of Sunset Town
  And in the night he comes to me
  And the square becomes a battlefield
  Of staring eyes that can't explain
  The insanity and the greater game
  A ragged man came shuffling through
  The corridors of this white place
  And as he lay his body down
  I saw the scars that lined his face
  And injured souls came to his bed
  To hear the stories he would tell
  Of Butterflies and Summertimes
  And everyone assembled here
  Remembers how it used to be
  Before the 27th came
  This place will never be the same
  And he said..
  'I'm the King of Sunset Town'
  Watch a big wheel turning around
  Some go up, some go down.
  Some go thirsty, some just drown
  'That's the law around here'
  Said the King of Sunset Town
