about

How do you feel when you move to a new town and your dreams don't turn out the way you thought they would? Moses Patrou sings Jon Dryden's atmospheric waltz about four women in search of escape in the biggest little city in the world.

lyrics

She’s working the graveyard
Third night in a row
Serving the drunks
From the 3 AM show

The penny shop drifters
And runaway queens
They make her remember
Of what used to be

Yesterday’s bargains and yesterday’s pearls
Flow through the minds of the Reno girls

She’s dealing the cards out
To those with no shame
Counting her chips
Since he went away
She’s somebody’s orphan
With doubt in her eyes
And longing for something
Each night when she cries

Yesterday’s bargains and yesterday’s pearls
Flow through the minds of the Reno girls

She’s been a good dancer
At home and the stage
Telling herself
She don’t look her age

The roles will get scarcer
And there goes the show
Then there’s the money
Where did it go

Yesterday’s bargains and yesterday’s pearls
Flow through the minds of the Reno girls

She came from Manteca
It’s been just a year
Nursing her drinks
And cursing her fears

Dreams are but rumors
We all try to keep
They rarely come true dear
Except when we sleep

Yesterday’s bargains and yesterday’s pearls
Flow through the minds of the Reno girls
Yesterday’s bargains and yesterday’s pearls
Flow through the minds of the Reno girls
