[00:18.56] |
Sure, I came out here |
[00:20.11] |
To make my name |
[00:21.38] |
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame |
[00:23.35] |
Wanted my parking space at warners. |
[00:27.07] |
But, after a year |
[00:28.72] |
A one-room hell |
[00:29.76] |
A murphy bed |
[00:30.92] |
A rancid smell |
[00:32.14] |
Wallpaper peeling at the corners |
[00:35.43] |
Sunset boulevard |
[00:37.81] |
Twisting boulevard |
[00:39.99] |
Secretive and rich, a little scary. |
[00:43.88] |
Sunset boulevard |
[00:46.12] |
Tempting boulevard |
[00:48.29] |
Waiting there to swallow the unwary. |
[00:52.48] |
Dreams are not enough |
[00:54.36] |
To win a war |
[00:55.38] |
Out here they're always keeping score |
[00:57.38] |
Beneath the tan, the battle rages. |
[01:00.95] |
Smile a rented smile |
[01:02.74] |
Fill someones glass |
[01:03.88] |
Kiss someones wife |
[01:04.80] |
Kiss someones ass |
[01:05.96] |
We do whatever pays the wages. |
[01:09.36] |
Sunset boulevard |
[01:11.62] |
Headline boulevard |
[01:13.69] |
Getting here is only the beginning. |
[01:17.72] |
Sunset boulevard |
[01:19.88] |
Jackpot boulevard |
[01:22.06] |
Once you've won you have to go on winning. |
[01:26.39] |
You think I've sold out? |
[01:27.70] |
Dead right I've sold out. |
[01:28.75] |
I just keep waiting for the right offer: |
[01:30.82] |
Comfortable quarters, |
[01:32.08] |
Regular rations, |
[01:32.94] |
24-hour five-star room service. |
[01:36.06] |
And if Im honest |
[01:37.08] |
I like the lady |
[01:38.08] |
I can't help being |
[01:38.91] |
Touched by her folly. |
[01:39.98] |
I'm treading water, |
[01:41.16] |
Taking her money, |
[01:41.96] |
Watching her sunset... |
[01:44.41] |
Well, Im a writer. |
[01:46.17] |
L.a.s changed a lot over the years |
[01:48.70] |
Since those brave gold rush pioneers |
[01:50.72] |
Came in their creaky covered wagons. |
[01:54.28] |
Far as they could go |
[01:56.00] |
End of the line, |
[01:57.04] |
Their dreams were yours |
[01:58.14] |
Their dreams were mine |
[01:59.27] |
But in those dreams |
[02:01.14] |
Were hidden dragons. |
[02:02.49] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:04.94] |
Frenzied boulevard |
[02:07.11] |
Swamped with every kind of false emotion. |
[02:10.91] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:13.20] |
Brutal boulevard |
[02:15.69] |
Just like you, well wind up in the ocean. |
[02:19.44] |
She was sinking fast |
[02:21.28] |
I threw a rope |
[02:22.29] |
Now I have suites |
[02:23.69] |
And she has hope |
[02:24.64] |
It seemed an elegant solution. |
[02:28.03] |
One day this must end, |
[02:29.90] |
It isn't real |
[02:30.68] |
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal before tomorrows execution. |
[02:36.33] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:38.56] |
Ruthless boulevard |
[02:40.78] |
Destination for the stony-hearted. |
[02:44.72] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:46.82] |
Lethal boulevard |
[02:49.09] |
Everyones forgotten how they started |
[02:53.09] |
Here on sunset boulevard! |
