时长: 03:03
Sure I came out here[00:00:18]
To make my name[00:00:20]
Wanted my pool my dose of fame[00:00:21]
Wanted my parking space at warners [00:00:23]
But after a year[00:00:27]
A one-room hell[00:00:28]
A murphy bed[00:00:30]
A rancid smell[00:00:31]
Wallpaper peeling at the corners[00:00:32]
Sunset boulevard[00:00:35]
Twisting boulevard[00:00:38]
Secretive and rich a little scary [00:00:40]
Sunset boulevard[00:00:44]
Tempting boulevard[00:00:46]
Waiting there to swallow the unwary [00:00:48]
Dreams are not enough[00:00:52]
To win a war[00:00:54]
Out here theyre always keeping score[00:00:55]
Beneath the tan the battle rages [00:00:57]
Smile a rented smile[00:01:00]
Fill someones glass[00:01:02]
Kiss someones wife[00:01:03]
Kiss someones ass[00:01:04]
We do whatever pays the wages [00:01:05]
Sunset boulevard[00:01:09]
Headline boulevard[00:01:11]
Getting here is only the beginning [00:01:13]
Sunset boulevard[00:01:17]
Jackpot boulevard[00:01:19]
Once youve won you have to go on winning [00:01:22]
You think I've sold out [00:01:26]
Dead right I've sold out [00:01:27]
I just keep waiting[00:01:28]
For the right offer:[00:01:29]
Comfortable quarters [00:01:30]
Regular rations [00:01:30]
24-hour five-star room service [00:01:32]
And if I'm honest[00:01:35]
I like the lady[00:01:36]
I can't help being[00:01:37]
Touched by her folly [00:01:38]
I'm treading water [00:01:39]
Taking her money [00:01:40]
Watching her sunset [00:01:41]
Well I'm a writer [00:01:43]
L a s changed a lot[00:01:45]
Over the years[00:01:47]
Since those brave gold rush pioneers[00:01:47]
Came in their creaky covered wagons [00:01:50]
Far as they could go[00:01:53]
End of the line [00:01:55]
Their dreams were yours[00:01:56]
Their dreams were mine[00:01:57]
But in those dreams[00:01:59]
Were hidden dragons [00:02:00]
Sunset boulevard[00:02:02]
Frenzied boulevard[00:02:04]
Swamped with every kind of false emotion [00:02:06]
Sunset boulevard[00:02:10]
Brutal boulevard[00:02:12]
Just like you well wind up in the ocean [00:02:14]
She was sinking fast[00:02:18]
I threw a rope[00:02:20]
Now I have suites[00:02:21]
And she has hope[00:02:22]
It seemed an elegant solution [00:02:23]
One day this must end [00:02:26]
It isnt real[00:02:28]
Still Ill enjoy[00:02:29]
A hearty meal[00:02:30]
Before tomorrows execution [00:02:31]
Sunset boulevard[00:02:35]
Ruthless boulevard[00:02:37]
Destination for the stony-hearted [00:02:39]
Sunset boulevard[00:02:43]
Lethal boulevard[00:02:45]
Everyones forgotten how they started[00:02:47]
Here on sunset boulevard [00:02:51]
