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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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)
