Killers, The

Michael plays with stars
Soul Sister wont you take a ride in his car
Late to call
When you wanted to be all
Baby dont be so shy
Rock children hold your heads up high
In the night while I try
And tell the ballad of Valentine
You got it bad, but you know its true
I caught up with a friend in Dallas
We took a trip to New Orleans
Those black-eyed ladies
Wont say theyre sorry
We finally caught a train to Memphis
Where everybody talks the same
Those blue suede babies
All know my name
And I said hold tight
Cant you see its hurting me
But Ive got the buzz
Like Marlon Brando
Michael Valentine, cant we unite?
We ended up in North Dakota
Although my hearts in Mexico
My monequita
Abre tus ojos
With your new suit, and your black tie
Hold on, youre just a gambling man, all proper like
I broke to the right and I caught your eye
Shut your mouth and wave goodbye
Tonight, I aint gonna let you rain on this parade
And I said hold tight
Cant you see its hurting me
But Ive got the buzz
Like Marlon Brando
Straight faced with misery tonight
And I will not lie when I say I aint cold no more
But Ive got the buzz
Like Greta Garbo
Walking forwards in the sun
And Ive got a cold tale left to write
Well uh oh
I know hes gonna be there tonight
[ The Ballad Of Michael Valentine Lyrics ]
