Sunset Boulevard Songtext
von Terry Callier

Here come Fannie Mae slippin′ down the street
Free and easy smile for everyone she meets
Everybody's hangin′ back but now the secret's out
She just came by to tell us what it's all about
There′s a nation waitin′ for the comin' of the Lord
With the dreamers and the schemers out on Sunset Boulevard

And ooh
Sugar, life is hard
Ooh
Out on Sunset Boulevard
Woo-hoo

Best dressed to high pressed, no matter who you are
Depends on how the cards fall, everyone can be a star
Life is not a screenplay, it′s a struggle for your soul
You must be very careful how you choose to play your role
Really ain't no tellin′ what your spirit's headin′ toward
We see he rests uneasy on Sunset Boulevard


And ooh
Mama, life is sho 'nuff hard
Ooh
Out on Sunset Boulevard
Woo-hoo

Now Jesus, peace be with him
Said the truth will set you free
Truth and doubt go hand in hand in our society
Everybody's wonderin′ what the beast will have to say
From the steps of Mother Russia to the flats of East LA
There′s an angel waitin' with fire and the sword
With the hipsters and the tipsters out on Sunset Boulevard

And ooh
Life is sho ′nuff hard
Ooh
Out on Sunset Boulevard
Woo-hoo

Ooh
Life is sho 'nuff hard
Ooh, ooh
On the dark side of this boulevard
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
