What's going on Joe?
Why am I so scared?
What was that women saying?
She sounded so weird
I don't understand
Please can you tell me what's happening?
You said you loved me tonight
Shall I Just go?
Say something Joe
Have some pink champagne, and caviar
When you go visit with a star
The hospitality is stellar
So this is where you're living?
Yes it's quite the place, sleeps 17
Eight sunken tubs, a movie screen
A bowling alley in the cellar
I didn't come to see a house joe!
Sunset Boulevard, cruise the boulevard
Win yourself a Hollywood palazzo
Sunset Boulevard, mythic boulevard
Valentino dance on that terrazzo
Whose it belong to?
Just look around you
That's Norma Desmond
Right on the money
That's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond
Why did she call me?
Give you three guesses
It's the oldest story in the book
Come see the taker being took
The word is full of Joe's and Norma's
Older women, very well to do
Meets younger man, the standard cue
For two mechanical performers
Just pack your things and lets go!
You mean all my things? have you gone mad
Leave all these things, I've never had
Leave this luxurious existence
You want me to face that one room hell
That Murphy bed, that rancid smell
Go back to living on subsistence
It's no time to begin a new life
Now I've finally made the perfect landing
I'm afraid there's no room for a wife
Not unless she's uniquely understanding
You should go back to Artie and marry the fool
And you'll always be welcome to swim in my pool!
I can't look at you anymore Joe
Thank you
Thank you Joe
Thank you
What are you doing Joe?
You're not, leaving me?
Yes
Yes I am, Norma
You can't
Max, Max?
