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>
