Sunset Boulevard

Michael Ball
sure, i came out here to make my name,

want-ed my pool, my dose of fame,

want-ed my park-ing space at war-ners.

but af-the a year, a one room hell, a mur-phy bed,

a ran-cid smell, wal-pa per peel-ing at the cor-ners.

sun-set bou-le-vard, twist-ing bou-le -vard,

se-cre-tive and rich, a lit-tle sca-ry.

sun-set bou-le-vard, tempt-ing bou-le-vard,

wait-ing there to swal-low the un-wa-ry.

Dreams are not e-nough to win a war,

out here they're al- ways keep-ing

score, be-neath the tan the bat-tle ta-ges.

smile a rent-ed smile, fill some-one's glass,

kiss some-one's wife, kiss some-one's ass,

we do what-ev-er pays the wa-gas.

sun-set bou-le -vard, head-line bou- le -vard,

get-thing here is on-ly the be-gn-ning.

sun-set bou-le-vard, jack-pot bou-le-vard,

once you're won you have to go in win-ning.

you think i've sold out? dead right, i've sold, i've just

been wait-ting for the right of-fer, comf-'ta-ble quart-ers,

re-gu-lar ra-tions, twen-ty-four hour-

five star room ser-vice

And if i'm ho-nest i like the la-dy.

i can't help be-ing touched by her fol-ly.

I'm tread-ing wa-er, tak- ing the mo-ney,

watch-ing her sun-set. well, I'm a wri-ter.

L. A.'s changed a lot ov-er the years

since those brave gold- rush pi-on-eers

came in their crea-ky co-vered wa-gons.

Far as they could go, end or the line,

their dream were yours, their dreams were mine,

but in those dreams were hid-den dra-gons.

Sun-set Bou-le-vard, fren-zed bou-le-vard,

swamped with ev-'ry kind of false e-mo-tion.

sun-set bou-le-vard, brn-tal bou-levard,

just like you we'll wind up in the o-cean.

she was sink-ing fast, i threw a rope,

now i have suit and she has hore,

it seemed an e-le-gant so-lu- tio.

one bay this must end, it is-'t real, stil i'll en-joy

hear-ty meal be-fore to-mor-row's ex-x-cu-tion.

Sun-set Bou-le-vard, ruth-les bou-le-vard,

des-ti-na-tion for the sto-ry heart-ed.

sun-set bou-le vard, le-thal bou-le-vard,

ev-'re-one's fr-got-ten how they start-ed

here on sun-set bou-le vard.
