Sun’s Down in the West

[Spoken Intro: Terry Scott Taylor]
"Sun's Down in the West." This is a Crime Horse song. This is--this is another band that was essentially the members of the Swirling Eddies, that eventually became the Swirling Eddies, not Crime Horse. So I think you'll find this one interesting

[Intro]
Trying to remember how it all began
You know, when things really started coming down
Ahhhh!

[Verse 1]
She lost to the side of the L.A. River
Thought she'd catch the endless rolling wave
A man writes his name in a locket of silver
And places her picture beside the grave

[Chorus]
The sun's down in the West
The searchlights scan the big sky
We'll put on our Sunday best
We're gonna meet the Big Guy

[Verse 2]
Babes in the woods and out on the streets
Staying up way past eleven
Come out of the cold, have something to eat
And we'll make you a bed in heaven

[Chorus]
The sun's down in the West
The searchlights scan the big sky
We'll put on our Sunday best
We're gonna meet the Big Guy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Explosions and zeppelins and sirens wailing
They said it could not happen here
We tried to ignore when our systems were failing
But one thing is certain, one thing is clear

[Chorus]
The sun's down in the West
The searchlights scan the big sky
We'll put on our Sunday best
We're gonna meet the Big Guy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
He said, "Here's our glory, the good and the great"
Long after the glory had faded
There's a veil on our face that appears to [?]
We never anticipated

[Chorus]
The sun's down in the West
The searchlights scan the big sky
We'll put on our Sunday best
We're gonna meet the Big Guy
The sun's down in the West
The searchlights scan the big sky
We'll put on our Sunday best
We're gonna meet the Big Guy

[Outro]
We can work a miracle
And build the city again
I mean, after all
This is Hollywood!
