[00:18.56] Sure, I came out here
[00:20.11] To make my name
[00:21.38] Wanted my pool, my dose of fame
[00:23.35] Wanted my parking space at warners.
[00:27.07] But, after a year
[00:28.72] A one-room hell
[00:29.76] A murphy bed
[00:30.92] A rancid smell
[00:32.14] Wallpaper peeling at the corners
[00:35.43] Sunset boulevard
[00:37.81] Twisting boulevard
[00:39.99] Secretive and rich, a little scary.
[00:43.88] Sunset boulevard
[00:46.12] Tempting boulevard
[00:48.29] Waiting there to swallow the unwary.
[00:52.48] Dreams are not enough
[00:54.36] To win a war
[00:55.38] Out here they're always keeping score
[00:57.38] Beneath the tan, the battle rages.
[01:00.95] Smile a rented smile
[01:02.74] Fill someones glass
[01:03.88] Kiss someones wife
[01:04.80] Kiss someones ass
[01:05.96] We do whatever pays the wages.
[01:09.36] Sunset boulevard
[01:11.62] Headline boulevard
[01:13.69] Getting here is only the beginning.
[01:17.72] Sunset boulevard
[01:19.88] Jackpot boulevard
[01:22.06] Once you've won you have to go on winning.
[01:26.39] You think I've sold out?
[01:27.70] Dead right I've sold out.
[01:28.75] I just keep waiting for the right offer:
[01:30.82] Comfortable quarters,
[01:32.08] Regular rations,
[01:32.94] 24-hour five-star room service.
[01:36.06] And if Im honest
[01:37.08] I like the lady
[01:38.08] I can't help being
[01:38.91] Touched by her folly.
[01:39.98] I'm treading water,
[01:41.16] Taking her money,
[01:41.96] Watching her sunset...
[01:44.41] Well, Im a writer.
[01:46.17] L.a.s changed a lot over the years
[01:48.70] Since those brave gold rush pioneers
[01:50.72] Came in their creaky covered wagons.
[01:54.28] Far as they could go
[01:56.00] End of the line,
[01:57.04] Their dreams were yours
[01:58.14] Their dreams were mine
[01:59.27] But in those dreams
[02:01.14] Were hidden dragons.
[02:02.49] Sunset boulevard
[02:04.94] Frenzied boulevard
[02:07.11] Swamped with every kind of false emotion.
[02:10.91] Sunset boulevard
[02:13.20] Brutal boulevard
[02:15.69] Just like you, well wind up in the ocean.
[02:19.44] She was sinking fast
[02:21.28] I threw a rope
[02:22.29] Now I have suites
[02:23.69] And she has hope
[02:24.64] It seemed an elegant solution.
[02:28.03] One day this must end,
[02:29.90] It isn't real
[02:30.68] Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal before tomorrows execution.
[02:36.33] Sunset boulevard
[02:38.56] Ruthless boulevard
[02:40.78] Destination for the stony-hearted.
[02:44.72] Sunset boulevard
[02:46.82] Lethal boulevard
[02:49.09] Everyones forgotten how they started
[02:53.09] Here on sunset boulevard!
