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 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
Everything I Own
Everything I Own
Everything I Own
