Sunset Lyrics - New Model Army

Coming in at night all the desert highways 

Crackle with the static of a thousand little radios 

Everyone talking, no-one listening 

Well by now I should expect that 

Down into the city I smell artificial green 

A glasshouse full of growing things 

That are not what they seem to be 

Look away, look away, the procession's leaving town 

The emperor rides naked and no-one gives a damn 

That was the last time 

I get a morbid satisfaction watching Sunset in all its degradation 

We were in a restaurant for wannabes clinking glasses in celebration 

We had to leave before something bad occurred and Niko grabbed the keys 

We drove out in the early morning with the radio jammed on are'n'be 

Drive away, drive away, and he turned to me and smiled 

Said, how does it feel to be living through the Fall of Rome 

And I said it's beginning to feel OK 

The last time 

Well I gave you all my money 

I'm ashamed to remember now just why I did that 

I got bitter, I got jealous, but not as much as you 

Do you understand that? 

Ten hours drifting half awake and finally touching down 

I went out in the rainy morning and kissed the blessed ground 

Coming home, coming home and the most of it is done 

And the worst of us is left behind in the place where it belongs 

That was, the last time
