[00:18.62] |
Sure, I came out here |
[00:20.62] |
To make my name |
[00:21.81] |
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame |
[00:23.68] |
Wanted my parking space at warners. |
[00:27.43] |
But, after a year |
[00:28.86] |
A one-room hell |
[00:30.04] |
A murphy bed |
[00:31.04] |
A rancid smell |
[00:32.54] |
Wallpaper peeling at the corners |
[00:35.91] |
Sunset boulevard |
[00:38.16] |
Twisting boulevard |
[00:40.22] |
Secretive and rich, a little scary. |
[00:44.34] |
Sunset boulevard |
[00:46.40] |
Tempting boulevard |
[00:48.46] |
Waiting there to swallow the unwary. |
[00:52.64] |
Dreams are not enough |
[00:54.00] |
To win a war |
[00:55.18] |
Out here theyre always keeping score |
[00:57.48] |
Beneath the tan, the battle rages. |
[01:00.98] |
Smile a rented smile |
[01:02.61] |
Fill someones glass |
[01:03.85] |
Kiss someones wife |
[01:04.79] |
Kiss someones ass |
[01:05.79] |
We do whatever pays the wages. |
[01:09.53] |
Sunset boulevard |
[01:11.72] |
Headline boulevard |
[01:13.71] |
Getting here is only the beginning. |
[01:17.64] |
Sunset boulevard |
[01:19.64] |
Jackpot boulevard |
[01:22.14] |
Once youve won you have to go on winning. |
[01:24.44] |
|
[01:26.25] |
You think Ive sold out? |
[01:27.37] |
Dead right Ive sold out. |
[01:28.31] |
I just keep waiting |
[01:29.06] |
For the right offer: |
[01:30.12] |
Comfortable quarters, |
[01:30.55] |
Regular rations, |
[01:31.55] |
|
[01:32.14] |
24-hour five-star room service. |
[01:34.70] |
|
[01:35.47] |
And if Im honest |
[01:36.41] |
I like the lady |
[01:37.41] |
I cant help being |
[01:38.34] |
Touched by her folly. |
[01:39.09] |
Im treading water, |
[01:40.58] |
Taking her money, |
[01:41.46] |
Watching her sunset... |
[01:42.46] |
|
[01:43.90] |
Well, Im a writer. |
[01:45.71] |
L.a.s changed a lot |
[01:47.15] |
Over the years |
[01:47.96] |
Since those brave gold rush pioneers |
[01:50.02] |
Came in their creaky covered wagons. |
[01:53.82] |
Far as they could go |
[01:55.32] |
End of the line, |
[01:56.32] |
Their dreams were yours |
[01:57.44] |
Their dreams were mine |
[01:58.38] |
|
[01:59.07] |
But in those dreams |
[02:00.00] |
Were hidden dragons. |
[02:00.50] |
|
[02:02.29] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:04.28] |
Frenzied boulevard |
[02:06.71] |
Swamped with every kind of false emotion. |
[02:10.33] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:12.39] |
Brutal boulevard |
[02:14.76] |
Just like you, well wind up in the ocean. |
[02:18.63] |
She was sinking fast |
[02:20.19] |
I threw a rope |
[02:21.07] |
Now I have suites |
[02:22.19] |
And she has hope |
[02:23.06] |
It seemed an elegant solution. |
[02:26.81] |
One day this must end, |
[02:28.30] |
It isnt real |
[02:29.30] |
Still Ill enjoy |
[02:30.30] |
A hearty meal |
[02:31.43] |
Before tomorrows execution. |
[02:35.26] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:37.19] |
Ruthless boulevard |
[02:39.50] |
Destination for the stony-hearted. |
[02:43.18] |
Sunset boulevard |
[02:45.18] |
Lethal boulevard |
[02:47.67] |
Everyones forgotten how they started |
[02:51.11] |
Here on sunset boulevard! |
