Sun’s Down in the West

Lyrics

[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!
