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
