Paroles de Valerie

To the east the 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 skie 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 Alberndee And I rode the coaster there on the fairground Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals And I left some skin on fortune's wheel Valerie can you hear those engines drone... 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.. Everything I own everything I own
