The Sunset Sleeps Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Floozies at The Rainbow
Superstars that won’t get far
Who is who that we know?
Coochie Coo is at the bar

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Do you really love?
Do you love, do you love?
Do you want to make the call?
We all long, we all fall

[Verse 2]
Shoelace for the sirens
Groupies and the tyrants ply

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Do you really want?
Do you want, do you want?
Do you want to have it all?
We all long, we all fall

[Chorus 1]
I’m so tired
Well, I get by but I could use a few
I’m so tired that I slept along the way
[Verse 3]
Suitcase of perception
Rhinestones and redemption cries

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Do you really love?
Do you love, do you love?
Do you want to make the call?
We all long, we all fall

[Chorus 2]
I’m so tired
The sun beats down upon my lonely face
I’m so tired that I slept along the way

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Do you really love?
Do you love, do you chase?
Do you take this town today?
We all long, we all face

[Chorus 1]
I’m so tired
Well, I get by but I could use a few
And I’m so tired that I slept along the way
[Outro]
The sun beats down upon my lonely face and
A perfect world with all its perfect places
I could use a few for just in cases
And I’m so tired that I slept along the way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
