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
