Valerie

[00:08.78] To the east the factories stand
[00:12.50] Like fire breathing dragons against the sky
[00:20.64] And from their throats a scarlet river
[00:25.00] Burns itself into smoky lullabies
[00:32.38] Over neon and fluorescent skies
[00:37.96] Valerie can you hear those engines drone
[00:44.97] I wanted to go to Mexico
[00:49.07] But I'm stranded here alone
[00:53.13] And once I knew a true love
[00:57.00] It's been three years since he's gone
[01:00.53] And if I could get that feeling back
[01:04.60] I'd give up everything I own
[01:17.72] Sixteen days since I left Corona
[01:20.83] And I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel
[01:28.34] And I rode the coaster there on the fairground
[01:33.14] Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals
[01:40.21] And I left some skin on fortune's wheel
[01:45.16] Valerie can you hear those engines drone
[01:53.18] I wanted to go to Mexico
[01:57.66] But I'm stranded here alone
[02:00.99] And once I knew a true love
[02:04.77] It's been three years since he's gone
[02:08.95] And if I could get that feeling back
[02:12.49] I'd give up everything I own
[02:23.14] Everything's in slow motion now
[02:28.12] In this little border town
[02:32.32] I've come so close from so far
[02:40.78] Just to hide behind these windows here
[02:44.37] From the world outside
[02:48.14] I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
[02:52.36] Down the road as they pass by
[02:58.15] Valerie can you hear those engines drone
[03:03.94] I wanted to go to Mexico
[03:10.90] But I'm stranded here alone
[03:12.96] And once I knew a true love
[03:15.61] It's been three years since he's gone
[03:20.17] And if I could get that feeling back
[03:24.33] I'd give up everything I own
[03:35.58] Everything I own
[03:42.81] Everything I own
[03:55.64]
