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 strength 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 (to fade) | Sunset Now 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 (repeat 4 times) 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 (repeat 4 times) Now!

I wish I'd never heard the news (Never had a good day) Baby wants a pair of shoes (How'm I gonna repay?) A thousand fingers touch my heart I need so much Blue Force is tearing me apart No time for might have been You're on the winning team No time to choose It's time to light the fuse I know there's nothing I can do (Don't let it freeze you) The age of miracles is through (They're never gonna please you) The iceman's back, he treats the crowds And ice is free Blue force is pouring from the clouds Tonight could be the night We'll walk into the cool light Though I'll not see you again Light the fuse now!

The skin I'm in It's hard to see, I know This skin I'm in We're never free Don't you agree? Yet another age has passed We all must look away From the way we are today We must look away On every fate Opening eyes will see Who does not cry? This skin I'm in No-one can hide How's the world been leaving you? The future came too late For the ones who cannot wait It will come too late This skin I'm in Down to the bone, our blood Fit for a king It's no surprise There's no disguise Maybe all we need is time To wipe away the tears We let fall throughout the years You must hide your tears Within this skin Until the end we grow And as we sing We have no more to show Now walk and say nothing | The skin I'm in It's hard to see, I know This skin I'm in We're never free Don't you agree?
