Lyrics:

Written By Patti Scialfa
� Rumble Doll Music (Ascap)

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 Im Stranded Here Alone
and Once I Knew A True Love
its Been Three Years Since Hes Gone
and If I Could Get That Feeling Back
id Give Up Everything I Own

sixteen 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 Fortunes Wheel

valerie Can You Hear Those Engines Drone
i Wanted To Go To Mexico
but Im Stranded Here Alone
and Once I Knew A True Love
its Been Three Years Since Hes Gone
and If I Could Get That Feeling Back
id Give Up Everything I Own

everythings In Slow Motion Now
in This Little Border Town
ive 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 Im Stranded Here Alone
and Once I Knew A True Love
its Been Three Years Since Hes Gone
and If I Could Get That Feeling Back
id Give Up Everything I Own
everything I Own
everything I Own
