Sunset Boulevard Songtext

von Terry Callier

Here come(s) fine and mellow 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 sugar life is hard
Out on Sunset Boulevard

Best dressed or hard pressed no matter who you are
Dependin' on how the cards fall, anyone can be a star
But Iife is not a screenplay - it's a battle for your soul
You must be very carelul how you choose to play your role
Really ain't no tellin' what your Spirit's headin' toward
You see he rests uneasy out on Sunset Boulevard
And mama Iife is sho' 'nuff hard
Out on Sunset Boulevard

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 in East L. A.
There's an angel waitin' with Fire and the Sword
With the hipsters and the tlpsters out on Sunset Boulevard
And Ine is sho' 'nuff hard
Out on Sunset Boulevard
