The pretty thing with grand ambitions

She's going to be a star someday

So sweet, so young, so pure, so innocent

Unless you're standing in her way

The handsome face, the youthful body

He made himself a foolproof plan

He'd like to think that he was cheated

But you can't cheat an honest man

That's how it goes

This case is closed

Sunset on Sunset Boulevard



The aging star sips her martini

Then throws the glass at her TV

"Those filthy swine have all forgotten

How dare they turn their backs on me"

The fat man slips into his hot tub

Satisfied, his lust is spent

A thousand bucks to ease the tension

Just one more business expense

The sky still glows

But this case is closed

Sunset on Sunset Boulevard



"I'd like to thank God for my Oscar

But most of all I thank you fans

I love you because you love me

God bless you all, God bless you all"



The siren's wail fades in the distance

They've washed the bloodstains off the floor

The damning photographs have vanished

The body's safely in the morgue

Now there's an opening at the escort service

If you don't mind exotic tastes

The hours are good, the work is easy

Don't let this chance go to waste

On goes the show

But this case is closed

Sunset on Sunset Boulevard



Now the farce is finally over

Our tawdry drama's at an end

The players soon will be forgotten

There's no more reason to pretend

A cheap motel, a shot of whiskey

A neon sign like a ragged nerve

A one-way ticket to oblivion

We only get what we deserve

Everyone knows

This case is closed

Sunset on Sunset Boulevard
