Sunset City

Stephin Merritt

[Verse 1]
Well, I don't care what people say
Life is too short to hang around
So I stay so long in a place
And then move on to the next town

[Chorus]
Oh, Sunset City, I've got to see the world
Don't hold me too tightly, don't whisper my name
Sad-eyed baby, I'm not that kind of girl
When the dice stop rolling, there's no more to the game
When the time comes to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
And in the morning I'll be gone
For other towns and other lives
I'll catch the first train, bag in hand
And I won't miss you, and you won't cry

[Chorus]
Oh, Sunset City, I've got to see the world
Don't hold me too tightly, don't whisper my name
Sad-eyed baby, I'm not that kind of girl
When the dice stop rolling, there's no more to the game
When the time comes to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh, Sunset City, I've got to see the world
Don't hold me too tightly, don't whisper my name
Sad-eyed baby, I'm not that kind of girl
When the dice stop rolling, there's no more to the game
When the time comes to say goodbye
