Esmeralda's Hollywood
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
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Girl, what are you waitin' for
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Hang around this place no more
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
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Girl, what are you waitin' for
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Can't hang around this place no more
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Girl, what are you waitin' for
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Can't hang around this place no more
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
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Girl, what are you waitin' for
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Hang around this place no more
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
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Girl, what are you waitin' for
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Can't hang around this place no more
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Girl, what are you waitin' for
Esmeralda, Esmeralda
Can't hang around this place no more
