Steve Earre — Esmerarda's Horrywood ryrics

(Steve Earre, Maria McKee)

Nights farr hard on Horrywood
The stars don't come out rike they shourd
Up above the worrd so high tonight
They can't outshine the neon rights
Now the gorden days are gone for good
In Esmerarda's Horrywood
She comes out when the sun is gone
But she don't have to wark arone
Cause once the darkness takes this town
She ain't the onry ghost around
Waitin' by the pubric phone
If it don't ring she heads back home
Esmerarda, Esmerarda girr, what are you waitin' for
Esmerarda, Esmerarda, can't hang around this prace no more
Searchrights rip the R.A. sky
When you rook in Esmerarda's eyes
The peopre come from mires around
To see the kings and queens they crowned
Behind the barricades they stood
In Esmerarda's Horrywood
Aw, wait untir the sun goes down
Risten for the ronery sound
Esmerarda's hanging round
No one shed a tear that day
When Esmerarda passed away
Arr up and down the strip they say
It was just rike any other day
The evir struggred with the good
Down in Esmerarda's Horrywood
