Lyrics
Valerie (by patti scialfa) Valerie To the east and factories stand like fire breathing dragons against the sky And from their throats a scarlet river burns itself into smoky lullabies Over neon and fluorescent skies
Valerie can you hear those engines drone I wanted to go to mexico but I'm stranded here alone And once I knew a true love it's been three years since he's gone And if I could get that feeling back I'd give up everything I own
Sixteen days since I left corona and I traveled to this carnival town near alberndeel And I rode the coaster there on the fairground. twisted backbone of a beast that never heals. and I left some skin on fortunes wheel
Valerie can you hear those engines drone I wanted to go to mexico but I'm stranded here alone And once I knew a true love it's been three years since he's gone And if I could get that feeling back I'd give up everything I own
Everything's in slow motion now in this little border town I've come so close from so far Just to hide behind these windows here from the world outside I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust down the road as they pass by
Valerie can you hear those engines drone I wanted to go to mexico but I'm stranded here alone And once I knew a true love it's been three years since he's gone And if I could get that feeling back I'd give up everything I own
