Act II: Sunset Boulevard歌词

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 they're 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 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 Im honest
I like the lady
I can't help being
Touched by her folly.
I'm 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 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 tomorrows execution.
Sunset boulevard
Ruthless boulevard
Destination for the stony-hearted.
Sunset boulevard
Lethal boulevard
Everyones forgotten how they started
Here on sunset boulevard!编辑于2023/05/12更新
