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 we unite? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/the+killers/the+ballad+of+michael+valentine_20359183.html ] We ended up in North Dakota Although my heart's in Mexico My munequita 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 to the sun And I've got a cold tale left to write
