Valerie (By Patti Scialfa)

Valerie
3
To the east and factories stand like fire breathing dragons against the sky.
4
And from their throats a scarlet river burns itself into smoky lullabies.
5
Over neon and fluorescent skies.
6
VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE.
7
I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE.
8
AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE.
9
AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN.
10
Sixteen days since I left corona and I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel.
11
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.
12
VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE.
13
I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE.
14
AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE.
15
AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN.
16
Everything's in slow motion now in this little border town.
17
I've come so close from so far.
18
Just to hide behind these windows here from the world outside.
19
I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust down the road as they pass by.
20
VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE.
21
I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE.
22
AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE.
23
AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN.
