| Sure I came out here to make my name | |
| Wanted my pool, my dose of fame | |
| Wanted my parking space at Warner's | |
| 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 they're always keeping score | |
| Beneath the tan the battle rages | |
| Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass | |
| Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass | |
| We do whatever pays the wages | |
| Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard | |
| Getting here is only the beginning | |
| Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard | |
| Once you've won you have to go on winning | |
| You think I've sold out? | |
| Dead right I've sold out! | |
| I just keep waiting for the right offer | |
| Comfortable quarters, regular rations | |
| 24 hour Five Star room service | |
| And if I'm honest, I like the lady | |
| I can't help being touched by her folly | |
| I'm treading water, taking the money | |
| Watching her sun set, well, I'm 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, we'll wind up in the ocean | |
| She was sinking fast, I threw a rope | |
| Now I have suits and she has hope | |
| It seemed an elegant solution | |
| One day this must end, it isn't real | |
| Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal | |
| Before tomorrow's execution | |
| Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard | |
| Destination for the stony-hearted | |
| Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard | |
| Everyone's forgotten how they started | |
| Here on Sunset Boulevard! |
