Lyrics

Sunset Town
(Tom Dean - George Wardwell) (ASCAP)

They used to call this the sunset town
back in the days when the sun went down
back in the days when the shadows crept
onto the hills while the city slept

Sitting in the hills above LA
in a copper colored midnight - here to stay.
there's a million cars on the road tonight
and they'll all be there in the morning light.


(chorus)
Now all night long the radio sings, all night long the telephone rings
the rooms are blue from the TV light
wide awake - up all night

Coldwater Canyon's burning bright,
painting the sky in a cool, gold light.
up at the top of Mulholland Drive
the smoke makes the city lights look alive.

You never really knew where you had to be
so you just rolled west 'til you found the sea.
like an echoed name from across a lake
I followed you out to the big mistake.

now all night long the radio sings, all night long the telephone rings
the rooms are blue from the TV light - wide awake - up all night

Better find out just who knows who - better check the doors and windows
your either livin in the bright spotlight or the shadows
better find out which list your on - are you rising up or falling
or maybe just drifting away

From the copter beam to the flashbulb spark
living in a city that never gets dark.
whatever you want - it's not too late,
and anyway we're all wide awake.

(chorus)
