Sun crazed in our room It was an endless afternoon It seemed that we were so immune The nights were stronger and longer I fell on my pillow saying "Tell the world that lucky's calling Gold dust falling Here in Action Town" Sunset now Sunset now Sunset now Sunset now Blade flew into town In time to watch the sun go down He said the new prince must be found The message shattered our windows We know it was over, saying "Tell the boys that we're not handing Over any part Of Action Town" Sunset now Sunset now Sunset now now! now! Pay out, run out, work out, die out Action Town (Action Town) If you have the name Then you win the game In Action Town (Action Town) Bang bang you're dead It's raining bread Sunset now Now that we have gone Do we have strenght to carry on It seems like all our sun has shone It seems our dice are as cold as ice But something in my heart keeps saying "Tell the world that lucky's coming Lines are humming Here comes Action Town" Sunset now
