Andrew Lloyd Webber - Sunset Boulevard

Sure I came out here to make my nameWanted my pool, my dose of fameWanted my parking space at Warner'sBut after a year, a one room hellA Murphy bed, a rancid smellWallpaper peeling at the cornersSunset Boulevard, twisting boulevardSecretive and rich, a little scarySunset Boulevard, tempting boulevardWaiting there to swallow the unwaryDreams are not enough to win a warOut here they're always keeping scoreBeneath the tan the battle ragesSmile a rented smile, fill someone's glassKiss someone's wife, kiss someone's assWe do whatever pays the wagesSunset Boulevard, headline boulevardGetting here is only the beginningSunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevardOnce you've won you have to go on winningYou think I've sold out?Dead right I've sold out!I just keep waiting for the right offerComfortable quarters, regular rations24 hour Five Star room serviceAnd if I'm honest, I like the ladyI can't help being touched by her follyI'm treading water, taking the moneyWatching her sun set, well, I'm a writer!L.A.'s changed a lot over the yearsSince those brave gold rush pioneersCame in their creaky covered wagonsFar as they could go end of the lineTheir dreams were yours, their dreams were mineBut in those dreams were hidden dragonsSunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevardSwamped with every kind of false emotionSunset Boulevard, brutal boulevardJust like you, we'll wind up in the oceanShe was sinking fast, I threw a ropeNow I have suits and she has hopeIt seemed an elegant solutionOne day this must end, it isn't realStill I'll enjoy a hearty mealBefore tomorrow's executionSunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevardDestination for the stony-heartedSunset Boulevard, lethal boulevardEveryone's forgotten how they startedHere on Sunset Boulevard!
