the sun's gone down
now I'm waiting for the sky to fall
waiting for these tears to go and roll along
ready for them to be gone from my eyes
the sun's gone down
now it's dragging the entire sky

the sun's gone down
it's ushering the darkness in
it's calling for the ill-fated to sink or swim
the stuff I'm on's got me pinned down to the floor
the sun's gone down
and I cannot think anymore

anxiety's the dog
that follows me around
it takes me for a walk
it never settles down
I wonder who will first
be buried in the ground
here's hoping that it's he
and not the other way around

the sun's gone down
not unusual at all
it sank below the west horizon
and night's come on
I'm waiting for the blind to see
and the lame to run
the sun's gone down
now another day is done.
