歌词
Overture：I Guess It Was 5 A.M.
大概清晨五点钟吧
Joe:
乔：
I guess it was five A.M.
大概是清晨五点钟吧
A homicide had been reported
传出了一桩命案
From one of those crazy mansions up on sunset
故事就发生在日落大道的公馆上
Tomorrow every front page
明天所有的报纸所有的头版
is going to lead with this story
都会追逐着这桩谋杀案
You see an old time movie star is involved,
你会看到一个旧影星涉身其中
Maybe the biggest star of all
也许应该说是那个时代最具名望的影星
But before you read about it,
但在你打开报纸之前
before it gets distorted
在那些好莱坞食人鱼将真相
By those Hollywood piranhas,
颠倒传笑为谈资之前
if you wanna know the real facts
如果你对真相还有兴趣
You've come to the right party
那你就找对人了
Let me take you back six months,
让我带你回到六个月以前
I was at the bottom of the barrel
我还在底层潦倒着
I'd had a contract down at Fox,
在福克斯签了个合同
but I'd fallen foul of Darryl
但又惹到了达里尔
Now I had a date at Paramount,
而后拿到了一个派拉蒙面谈的机会
Along with about a thousand other writers
那办公室门外还等着一千个和我没两样的作家
If it didn't come up roses,
如果这次不能顺顺利利
I'd be covering funerals
那我真得完蛋
Back in Dayton, Ohio,
回到了俄亥俄的达顿
I'd hidden my car three blocks away
把车停得躲在三个街区外
Turned out to be a smart move.
还成了个明智之举
