CAPO 4 Verse 1: 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, Chorus: Can you hear those engines drone I wanted to go to NewMexico 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 Verse 2: Sixteen days since I left Corona and I- -traveled to this carnival town near Alberndee. And I rode the coasters there on the fairgrounds, Twisted backbone of a beat that never heals.. And I left some skin on Fortune's wheel, Valerie Chorus Bridge: 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... Chorus Everything I own Everything I own
