Sunset (The Death of Thumbelina) Songtext

The dusk blue breaks
And the bluebottles laugh
The trees all fall and I hear collapse
But smile and nod and watch the dim sunset
Whilst the cocktails clash
Bleak glass domes
Make shivers in my peacock eye
And I am all Thumbelina
I died for you all
And if you took the time
To take your time
And sleep this time all the way home
And watch the egg-timers bubble and wink
There's a face behind a gun
That sleeps behind the owl
The matinee is showing in town sunset
And we tumble into the cardboard sunset
Dim
Birdsong
Teethless Sunset
The flowers smile
