SUNSET The sun rises in the east, west is where it sets sometimes I go through a whole day, doing what I forget. Time stands still, I falter, a walk to the beach, stare at the water the horizon is before me, scattered over a million miles an old couple passes, the women looks at me I smile The sun rises in the east, west Is where it sets, sometimes I go through a whole night, doing what I forget catholic boys, aren't allowed any toys, not until heaven I remember the number of sins that are deadly, isn't it seven I call my shrink to tell him how I feel down deep inside He tells me the best thing to do is probably run and hide the moon is high, into the deep dark corners of the night I go I have a friend we talk a lot, I tell him everything, some ones got to know The sun rises in the east, west is where it sets sometimes I go through a whole day, going where I forget sinister shadows glide along behind, distant laughter I think I hear, but I'm sure it's just my mind a long time of ago, I believed in Santa Claus and fairies I had a bright red fire truck, little plastic men it carried, to imaginary emergencies, to rescue the people on the top floor I went to bed at night, I was Robin Hood, I took from the rich and gave to the poor the sun rises in the east, west is where it sets. who the hell I am, sometimes I forget.
