0:25To the east the factories stand
0:31Like fire breathing dragons against the sky
0:35And from their throats a scarlet river
0:44Burns itself into smoky lullabies
0:47Over neon and fluorescent skies
0:51Valerie can you hear those engines drone
0:54I wanted to go to Mexico
0:56But I'm stranded here alone
1:00And once I knew a true love
1:04It's been three years since he's gone
1:06And if I could get that feeling back
1:09I'd give up everything I own
1:18Sixteen days since I left Corona
1:25And I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel
1:30And I rode the coaster there on the fairground
1:45Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals
1:52And I left some skin on fortune's wheel
1:54Valerie can you hear those engines drone
1:58I wanted to go to Mexico
1:59But I'm stranded here alone
1:59And once I knew a true love
2:03It's been three years since he's gone
2:06And if I could get that feeling back
2:09I'd give up everything I own
2:15Everything's in slow motion now
2:20In this little border town
2:23I've come so close from so far
2:24Just to hide behind these windows here
2:27From the world outside
2:55I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
3:01Down the road as they pass by
3:06Valerie can you hear those engines drone
3:11I wanted to go to Mexico
3:11But I'm stranded here alone
3:12And once I knew a true love
3:15It's been three years since he's gone
3:19And if I could get that feeling back
3:22I'd give up everything I own
3:54Everything I own
4:34Everything I own
