Sunset Boulevard movie - SUNSET BOULEVARD lyrics
rate me<br>
JOE<br>
Sure I came out here to make my name<br>
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame<br>
Wanted my parking space at Warner's<br>
But after a year, a one room hell<br>
A murphy bed, a rancid smell<br>
Wallpaper peeling at the corners<br>
<br>
<br>
Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard<br>
Secretive and rich, a little scary<br>
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard<br>
Waiting there to swallow the unwary<br>
<br>
<br>
Dreams are not enough to win a war<br>
Out here they're always keeping score<br>
Beneath the tan the battle rages<br>
Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass<br>
Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass<br>
We do whatever pays the wages<br>
<br>
<br>
Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard<br>
Getting here is only the beginning<br>
Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard<br>
Once you've won you have to go on winning<br>
<br>
<br>
You think I've sold out?<br>
Dead right I've sold out!<br>
I just keep waiting for the right offer<br>
Comfortable quarters, regular rations<br>
24-hour Five Star room service<br>
And if I'm honest, I like the lady<br>
I can't help being touched by her folly<br>
I'm treading water, taking the money<br>
Watching her sun set... Well, I'm a writer!<br>
<br>
<br>
L.A.'s changed a lot over the years<br>
Since those brave gold rush pioneers<br>
Came in their creaky covered wagons<br>
Far as they could go end of the line<br>
Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine<br>
But in those dreams were hidden dragons<br>
<br>
<br>
Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard<br>
Swamped with every kind of false emotion<br>
Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard<br>
Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean<br>
<br>
<br>
She was sinking fast, I threw a rope<br>
Now I have suits and she has hope<br>
It seemed an elegant solution<br>
One day this must end, it isn't real<br>
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal<br>
Before tomorrrow's execution<br>
<br>
<br>
Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard<br>
Destination for the stony-hearted<br>
Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard<br>
Everyone's forgotten how they started<br>
Here on Sunset Boulevard...!<br>
<br>
