What's Going On, Joe?

What's going on, Joe?

Why am I so scared?

What was that woman 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 cavier

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 seventeen

Eight sunken tubs, a movie screen

A bowling alley in the cellar

I didn't come to see a house, Joe[JOE]

Sunset Boulevard, cruise the boulevard

Win yourself some Hollywood palazzo

Sunset Boulevard, mythic boulevard

Valentino danced on that terazzo

Who's 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 world is full of Joe's and Norma's

Older woman, very well to do

Meets younger man, the standard cue

For two mechanical performers[BETTY, spoken]

Just pack your things and let's go

You mean all my things? Have you gone mad?

Leave all these things I 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 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[Joe, spoken]

Yes

Yes I am, Norma

You can't

Max, Max?
