New Model Army - Sunset Lyrics
Coming in at night all the desert highwaysCrackle with the static of a thousand little radiosEveryone talking, no-one listeningWell by now I should expect thatDown into the city I smell artificial greenA glasshouse full of growing thingsThat are not what they seem to beLook away, look away, the procession's leaving townThe emperor rides ***** and no-one gives a damnThat was the last timeI get a morbid satisfaction watching Sunset in all its degradationWe were in a restaurant for wannabes clinking glasses in celebrationWe had to leave before something bad occurred and Niko grabbed the keysWe drove out in the early morning with the radio jammed on R'n'BDrive away, drive away, and he turned to me and smiledSaid, how does it feel to be living through the Fall of RomeAnd I said it's beginning to feel OKThe last timeWell I gave you all my moneyI'm ashamed to remember now just why I did thatI got bitter, I got jealous, but not as much as youDo you understand that?Ten hours drifting half awake and finally touching downI went out in the rainy morning and kissed the blessed groundComing home, coming home and the most of it is doneAnd the worst of us is left behind in the place where it belongsThat was, the last time
