The Magnetic Fields - Sunset City lyrics

rate me

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

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

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

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 repeats)
