The Sun Went Out
Brock Zeman

Justice took the night off and democracy fell asleep

Gamblers, whores and winos had all taken over the street

The lawmen who took all they could threw their arms into the air

And a wise guy on the corner tipped his hat and said, buddy listen here

It’s going down and it’s going down tonight


Across town on Easy Street Jesus was drinking wine

He was dancing with some hooker and having himself a hell of a time

The sun had burned out for good the moon dangled by a thread

A drunkard drank deep as he could pointed to the sky and he said

It’s coming down and it’s coming down tonight


Prisoner’s beat the judge’s with gavels then sentenced them to life

Philosopher’s all proclaimed white is black and black is white

The righteous screamed from rooftops as God was shooting dice

Lightning flashed from his fingertips when they both came up snake eyes

It’s going down and it’s going down tonight


Saint Peter he was playing it cool smoking cigarettes


Picking banjo for a band of angel’s screaming this is as good as it gets

Sinners threw themselves from windows at one hell of a rate

One screamed out before he jumped there ain’t nobody guarding the gate

I’m jumping down and I’m jumping down tonight


Then the Devil appeared onto the scene on a horse with a fiery mane

In his hands he held a deck of cards and said, I’m looking for a game

He asked a vagrant where’s the action, who said, I’ll tell if I can come

And the Devil stroked his bearded chin and said, climb aboard then son

We’re going down and we’re going down tonight


He appeared out of a cloud of smoke and challenged God to a hand

Of five card stud, winner takes all control over this land

When the cards were dealt God roared aloud, Devil I’ve got two pair

And the Devil roared back, so do I and threw four aces into the air

And said, you’re going down and you’re going down tonight.
