Nights fall hard on hollywood |
|
The stars don't come out like they should |
|
Up above the world so high tonight |
|
They can't outshine the neon lights |
|
Now the golden days are gone for good |
|
In esmeralda's hollywood |
|
She comes out when the sun is gone |
|
But she don't have to walk alone |
|
Cause once the darkness takes this town |
|
She ain't the only ghost around |
|
Waitin' by the public phone |
|
If it don't ring she heads back home |
|
Esmeralda, esmeralda girl, what are you waitin' for |
|
Esmeralda, esmeralda, can't hang around this place no more |
|
Searchlights rip the l.a. sky |
|
When you look in esmeralda's eyes |
|
The people come from miles around |
|
To see the kings and queens they crowned |
|
Behind the barricades they stood |
|
In esmeralda's hollywood |
|
Aw, wait until the sun goes down |
|
Listen for the lonely sound |
|
Esmeralda's hanging round |
|
No one shed a tear that day |
|
When esmeralda passed away |
|
All up and down the strip they say |
|
It was just like any other day |
|
The evil struggled with the good |
|
Down in esmeralda's hollywood |
