lyrics

Jenny has blackouts and loses hours at a time
Her face is crushed by the beauty of her hair, so red and fine
She's got two left feet and all those stiletto shoes
So like a soldier disarmed she's got nothing to lose

I tell her I love her each time we meet
The cash starts on the side before she ends on her knees
Moonlight creeps in and bleeds in and the love sleeps
As Jenny walks home the cold and lonely call her cheap


Step off the boulevard
You can still save a lonely heart


She clicks her way down through Hollywood
Scratching the stars left to be crushed underfoot
Her mother looked just the same, said she did the best she could
But sorrow poured down and they were lost in the flood

Diamond Bill has got her keys and her car
And if his teeth shone any whiter they'd block out the stars
The rings on old Bill's fingers match her body's scars
She'd try to run but in those heels she won't get far


Step off the boulevard
You can still save a lonely heart


Alone in Hollywood
The stars below stole the hope above
Alone in Hollywood
Ring my ears with words of love
