Sunset Blvd. Lyrics by Lynn Miles

Night in a Strange Town

1999

There's lithium in the sunset
There's rats in the trees
And the temperature is always
Seventy-six degrees
When the mighty fall here
They fall real hard
And the Marlboro Man is watching them
On Sunset Boulevard

I cannot get a breath
I cannot get a break
I can taste the desperation
'Cause the deal is at stake
For every nip and tuck
There is a vicious little scar
And the Marlboro Man is peering down
On Sunset Boulevard

Be careful how you talk to her
She might be someone you need
And it's such an easy leap
From sincerity to greed
Now everybody's waiting
Just to see the next card
And the Marlboro Man is smokin'
Down on Sunset Boulevard

There's a body on the beach
And it doesn't make the news
It's sweeps month here
And nobody wants to lose
He didn't have connections
Didn't even own a car
So it ain't worth reporting
'Cause he's not a superstar yeah yeah

You cannot be too rich
You cannot be too thin
Don't bother entering the fray
Unless you're certain you can win
Take a look around you, baby
Every blade of grass is charred
And the Marlboro Man is laughing
On Sunset Boulevard

Grooming is everything
And your car is your purse
Don't give the right of way
Even if it's a hearse
Forget about that loser
'Cause he ain't going far
Anyway, the Marlboro Man is waiting for you
Down on Sunset Boulevard

There's a body on the beach
And it doesn't make the news
It's sweeps month here
And nobody wants to lose
He didn't have connections
Didn't even own a car
So it ain't worth reporting
'Cause he's not a superstar yeah yeah

The horses are chompin' at their bits
The dam is gonna burst
The ground is gonna rumble
And the sun is a curse
So don't look too excited
But never let down your guard
'Cause the Marlboro Man is watching you
Down on Sunset Boulevard
