Michael Ball - Sunset Boulevard lyrics
Sure, I came out here To make my name Wanted my pool, my dose of fame Wanted my parking space at warners. But, after a year A one-room hell A murphy bed A rancid smell Wallpaper peeling at the corners Sunset boulevard Twisting boulevard Secretive and rich, a little scary. Sunset boulevard Tempting boulevard Waiting there to swallow the unwary. Dreams are not enough To win a war Out here theyre always keeping score Beneath the tan, the battle rages. Smile a rented smile Fill someones glass Kiss someones wife Kiss someones ass We do whatever pays the wages. Sunset boulevard Headline boulevard Getting here is only the beginning. Sunset boulevard Jackpot boulevard Once youve won you have to go on winning. You think Ive sold out? Dead right Ive sold out. I just keep waiting For the right offer: Comfortable quarters, Regular rations, 24-hour five-star room service. And if Im honest I like the lady I cant help being Touched by her folly. Im treading water, Taking her money, Watching her sunset... Well, Im a writer. L.a.s changed a lot Over the years Since those brave gold rush pioneers Came in their creaky covered wagons. Far as they could go End of the line, Their dreams were yours Their dreams were mine But in those dreams Were hidden dragons. Sunset boulevard Frenzied boulevard Swamped with every kind of false emotion. Sunset boulevard Brutal boulevard Just like you, well wind up in the ocean. She was sinking fast I threw a rope Now I have suites And she has hope It seemed an elegant solution. One day this must end, It isnt real Still Ill enjoy A hearty meal Before tomorrows execution. Sunset boulevard Ruthless boulevard Destination for the stony-hearted. Sunset boulevard Lethal boulevard Everyones forgotten how they started Here on sunset boulevard! |
