The Ballad Of Michael Valentine Lyrics

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 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 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 heart's in Mexico

 My ... (?)

 All went to Soho 

 

 With your new suit, and your black tie

 Hold on, you're 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 ain't gonna let you rain on this parade 

 

 And I said hold tight

 Can't you see it's hurting me

 But I've got the buzz

 Like Marlon Brando

 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 forwards in the sun

 And I've got a cold tale left to write 

 

 Well uh oh

 I know he's gonna be there tonight
