Sure I came out here to make my nameWanted my pool my dose of fameWanted my parking space at WarnersBut after a yearOf one room hellA Murphy bellA rancid smellWallpaper peeling at the cornersSunset BoulevardTwisting boulevardSecret of the richA little scarySunset BoulevardTempting boulevardWaiting there to swallow the unwaryDreams are not enough to win a warOut here they're always keeping scoreBeneath the tanThe battle ragesSongtexteSmile a rented smileFill someone's glassKiss someone's wifeKiss someone's assWe do whatever pays the wagesSunset BoulevardHeadline boulevardGetting here is only the beginningSunset BoulevardJackpot boulevardOnce you've won, you have to go on winningYou think I've sold outDamn right I've sold outI've just been waiting For the right offerComfortable quartersRegular rationsTwenty four hourFive star room serviceAnd if I'm honestI like the ladyI can't help beingTouched by her follyI'm treading waterTaking her moneyWatching her sun setWell I'm a writerLA's changed a lot over the yearsSince those brave goldrush pioneersCame in their creaky covered wagonsFar as they could goEnd of the lineTheir dreams were yoursTheir dreams were mineBut in those dreamsWere hidden dragonsSunset BoulevardFrenzied boulevardSwamped with every kind of false emotionSunset BoulevardBrutal boulevardJust like you we'll wind up in the oceanShe was sinking fastI threw a ropeNow I have suitsAnd she is hopeIt seemed an elegant solutionOne day this must endIt isn't realStill I'll enjoy a hearty mealBefore tomorrow's executionSunset BoulevardRuthless boulevardDestination for the stony heartedSunset BoulevardLethal boulevardEveryone's forgotten how they startedHere on Sunset Boulevard
