Sunset Boulevard Songtext
von City Boy

No, no golden mile
Of flashing cameras
The ritzy style
But just, just scrapbook smiles
There′s no need to hurry, hurry
When all she has is time

She, she, she, she's going home
Between the forgotten
And always alone

Down on Sunset Boulevard
You sell your soul before your car is paid for
The only laughing sound you hear
From blind men ′cause they hold no fear of darkness
With every flashing theatre light
A startled welcome through the night is glowing
But every mother's son is dead
They choked upon the daily bread they prayed for, prayed for


Friends pass on by
She gives a performance
They call it a lie
Only, only late at night
She still sees the traces
Of other city lights

Sun, sun, sun, Sunset Boulevard
(Angels graveyard)
The devil can take her
She's been there before

By the broken balustrade
An idol from another age is swaying
Softly singing Gershwin songs
But every other note is wrong and straining
And once again her glass is dry
The bedroom mirror cannot lie forever, forever

But down on Sunset Boulevard
They lived too long and laughed too hard to love her, love her


The telephone is ringing
But there′s no reply
The gramophone is singing
Sweetly out of time
And in the hall
Screaming for the final scene
Passing through their eyes
Appearing for the view

With her name in lights
The lady′s new
And in a sleet they call her
Loving every smile
Lining every street to see her
Starry-eyed and wild

Again she waves
Screaming for the final scene
Passing through their eyes
Appearing for the view
With her name in lights
The lady's new
