| Sure, I came out here |
| To make my name |
| Wanted my pool, my dose of fame |
| Wanted my parking space at Warners' |
| 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 her money |
| Watching her sunset… |
| 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 suites |
| 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 tomorrow’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! |
