Las Vegas strip neon lights,
Pretty girls walking the night.
Taking their clothes off for strangers, just to make a buck,
Telling their selves just this once, then they're stuck.
Harden their souls and seal off their hearts,
If you got the money they will play their part.
All of these women, got plenty of moxy,
They take on fake names like Candy and Roxy.
Walking the boulevard with fish net stockings and leather skirts,
Painted faces, fake smiles disguising their hurt.
Any hope of getting a life was lost long ago,
Walking the night is the only life they know.
Now they stroll the boulevard doing what they must,
Relying on their selves, there is no one they can trust.

Very intense indeed...
But yeah I think you meant fishnet stockings not stalkings... Unless that was the intention as I'm sure these types do get stalked more often than not.
