valerie (by patti scialfa) valerie to the east and
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.

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.

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.
