John Barrowman

Sure I came out here to make my name<br /> Wanted my pool, my dose of fame<br /> Wanted my parking space at Warner's<br /> But after a year, a one room hell<br /> A murphy bed, a rancid smell<br /> Wallpaper peeling at the corners<br /> <br /> Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard<br /> Secretive and rich, a little scary<br /> Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard<br /> Waiting there to swallow the unwary<br /> <br /> Dreams are not enough to win a war<br /> Out here they're always keeping score<br /> Beneath the tan the battle rages<br /> Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass<br /> Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass<br /> We do whatever pays the wages<br /> <br /> Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard<br /> Getting there is only the beginning<br /> Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard<br /> Once you've won you have to go on winning<br /> <br /> You think I've sold out?<br /> Dead right I've sold out!<br /> I just keep waiting for the right offer<br /> Comfortable quarters, regular rations<br /> 24-hour Five Star room service<br /> And if I'm honest, I like the lady<br /> I can't help being touched by her folly<br /> I'm treading water, taking the money<br /> Watching her sun set... Well, I'm a writer!<br /> <br /> L.A.'s changed a lot over the years<br /> Since those brave gold rush pioneers<br /> Came in their creaky covered wagons<br /> Far as they could go end of the line<br /> Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine<br /> But in those dreams were hidden dragons<br /> <br /> Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard<br /> Swamped with every kind of false emotion<br /> Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard<br /> Just like you, will wind up in the ocean<br /> <br /> She was sinking fast, I threw a rope<br /> Now I have suits and she has hope<br /> It seemed an elegant solution<br /> One day this must end, it isn't real<br /> Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal<br /> Before tomorrrow's execution<br /> <br /> Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard<br /> Destination for the stoney-hearted<br /> Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard<br /> Everyone's forgotten how they started<br /> Here on Sunset Boulevard...!<br /> ---<br /> Lyrics submitted by Emma.Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>
