|
I come from the desert |
|
Where sun's the only hazard |
|
And I spent my days a-wondering why |
|
Nothing seems to matter |
|
So the boy went to the city |
|
Of the smarter and the faster |
|
Where you can date opportunity |
|
but it takes cash to undress her |
|
I met a girl who's a lot like me |
|
She double knots her shoes and wants to live by the sea |
|
She don't talk much and that's ok by me |
|
I still write a lot of songs about her |
|
Baby walk with me on Sunset Blvd |
|
We'll watch this devil city fall apart |
|
We were lost here from the start |
|
But that's just who we are on Sunset Blvd. |
|
So I'm a hopeful songwriter |
|
And she's a model slash actress |
|
Writing our vows down on cheap diner napkins |
|
And dreamin out loud about these things that will never happen |
|
It would be so sad if we weren't always laughin |
|
I've got my name in a vending machine |
|
You can get your own hell there almost free |
|
Or you can stay unknown and that's ok by me |
|
As long as I can sing about you |
|
Baby walk with me on Sunset Blvd |
|
We'll watch this devil city fall apart |
|
From the top of this town |
|
We can see the dreams come crashing down |
|
Fall in love with me on Sunset Blvd. |
|
We'll catch the late parade of broken hearts |
|
We were lost here from the start |
|
That's just who we are on Sunset Blvd. |
|
Don't let it get you down |
|
There's hope that's all around |
|
Come on you're almost there |
|
They come from everywhere |
|
Just to make it here |
|
So walk with me on Sunset Blvd. |
|
We'll watch this devil city fall apart |
|
From the top of this town |
|
We can see the dreams come crashing down |
|
Fall in love with me on Sunset Blvd. |
|
We'll catch the late parade of broken hearts |
|
We were lost here from the start |
|
That's just who we are on Sunset Blvd. |
