| [00:15.32] |
Sure I came out here to make my name |
| [00:18.44] |
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame |
| [00:20.08] |
Wanted my parking space at Warner's |
| [00:23.65] |
But after a year, a one room hell |
| [00:26.11] |
A murphy bed, a rancid smell |
| [00:28.17] |
Wallpaper peeling at the corners |
| [00:31.43] |
Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard |
| [00:35.58] |
Secretive and rich, a little scary |
| [00:39.61] |
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard |
| [00:43.56] |
Waiting there to swallow the unwary |
| [00:47.45] |
Dreams are not enough to win a war |
| [00:49.87] |
Out here they're always keeping score |
| [00:52.00] |
Beneath the tan the battle rages |
| [00:55.25] |
Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass |
| [00:57.77] |
Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass |
| [00:59.77] |
We do whatever pays the wages |
| [01:02.79] |
Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard |
| [01:07.35] |
Getting there is only the beginning |
| [01:11.10] |
Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard |
| [01:15.49] |
Once you've won you have to go on winning |
| [01:19.27] |
You think I've sold out? |
| [01:20.86] |
Dead right I've sold out! |
| [01:21.79] |
I've just been waiting for the right offer |
| [01:23.82] |
Comfortable quarters, regular rations |
| [01:25.81] |
24-hour Five Star room service |
| [01:28.90] |
And if I'm honest, I like the lady |
| [01:30.53] |
I can't help being touched by her folly |
| [01:32.54] |
I'm treading water, taking the money |
| [01:34.47] |
Watching her sun set |
| [01:36.53] |
Well, I'm a writer! |
| [01:38.43] |
L.A.'s changed a lot over the years |
| [01:40.46] |
Since those brave gold rush pioneers |
| [01:42.42] |
Came in their creaky covered wagons |
| [01:45.53] |
Far as they could go end of the line |
| [01:48.17] |
Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine |
| [01:50.13] |
But in their dreams were hidden dragons |
| [01:53.31] |
Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard |
| [01:57.36] |
Swamped with every kind of false emotion |
| [02:01.36] |
Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard |
| [02:05.53] |
Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean |
| [02:09.42] |
She was sinking fast, I threw a rope |
| [02:11.82] |
Now I have suits and she has hope |
| [02:13.84] |
It seemed an elegant solution |
| [02:17.06] |
One day this must end, it isn't real |
| [02:19.48] |
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal |
| [02:21.43] |
Before tomorrrow's execution |
| [02:24.91] |
Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard |
| [02:29.17] |
Destination for the stony-hearted |
| [02:32.97] |
Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard |
| [02:37.37] |
Everyone's forgotten how they started |
| [02:41.35] |
Here on Sunset Boulevard! |
