Текст песни Killers - The Ballad Of Michael Valentine

Michael plays with stars,
Soul sister, won't you take a ride in his car ?
Late to call, when you wanted to be all

Baby, baby, don't 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 it's true

I caught up with a friend in Dallas,
We took a trip to New Orleans,
Those black-eyed ladies,
Won't say they're 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"
Can't you see that it's hurting me?
But I've got the buzz
Like Marlon Brando
Michael Valentine, can't we unite ?

We ended up in North Dakota,
Although my hearts in Mexico
[Spanish] My munequita,
Abren tus ojos
[Translation: My little doll, open your eyes]

With your new suit and your black tie,
Hold on you're just a gambling man
All proper, like
Well I broke to the right,
And I caught your eye
Shut your mouth and wave goodbye

Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade

And I said "Hold tight",
Can't you see that it's hurting me?
But I've got the buzz
Like Marlon Brandon
Straight-faced with misery tonight

And I will not lie
When I say I ain't cold no more,
But I've got the buzz
Like Greta Garbo
Walking forward to the Sun,

And I've got a cold tale left to write
Oh, uh-oh
I know
He's gonna be there tonight
