Shes thinking about

The prince and Cinderella

The outlaws the hustlers and the heroes

That never seem to fall

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what the outcome of the story is

Because in real life, I try to tell her, its not like that at all



Oh wont you please, just hold out now

'Cause theres some thing I'd like you to forget

When your world is

Sinking like a sunset



Tales of Don Juan, they're very poetic babe

But out on the streets out there, the true verse of life is written

You know its really a shame when you've got to let go of all the things you love

Like a fighter, he really bleeds when he must

Hang up his gloves



No I'm not a rock, and I can feel it now

But for a moment I'd like to forget

That my heart is

Sinking like a sunset



No no no no no no no noooo sinking like a sunset (x3)

No no no no no no no noooo sinking like a sunset

No no no no no no no no

Oh



Everybody has a story, some are tragic and some find glory

But it feels more real when you're here, right next to me

No no no no no no



You can walk too far out on that ledge, and you might lose your mind

You know I need you now, you're the angel that keeps me in line

The old sargent has broken down, hes grown senile, he shouts

"Kill the bastards in the night" 'cause he's all out of time



Don't hold out, lets make love right now

'Cause there's some things I'd like to forget

When our hearts are 

Sinking like a sunset



Won't you hold me now and make things alright

'Cause when you're with me here the sun comes out at night

Making me forget

We're sinkin like a sunset



No no no no no no no noooo sinkin like a sunset (x6)
