Sunset Boulevard Lyrics - Sunset Boulevard - Andrew Lloyd Webber

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 tomorrrow'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...!
