Van dyke parks



This town goes down at sunset

When the hills start turning red

The streets roll up at eight o'clock

Everybody goes off to bed

Everybody goes off to bed



There's someone callin' someone names

You can hear a screen door slam

A car goes skatin' down the road

Everybody gets out of bed

Everybody gets out of bed



You took the key to my heart's door

And you set off on your own

I shook it off as a passing phase

Everybody must come back home

Everybody must come back home



This town gets up at daybreak

When the hills start turnin' blue

A whistle blows a rooster crows

Everybody's got things to do

Everybody's got things to do
