valerie - patti scialfa lyrics
written by: patti scialfa
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 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
16 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 fortune’s 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 p-ss 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
everything i own
everything i own
everything i own
