Valerie is winding down the road Left hanging out to dry Looking for good times Shooting pool in bars around the corner Playing till she turns into stone Where the road seems a dead end street It's time to see The sun will rise again And by the time you hit that wall Everything is under control You come running home Valerie is a troubled girl Playin all the boys Just making small talk Shooting up around just about every corner Tripping till she turns into stone Where the road seems a dead end street It's time to see The sun will rise again But by the time you think you hit that wall Thunder's slowly rolling in Lightning strikes randomly Planes a-circling Waiting to touch ground Thunderbolt and hurricanes Make you fly high again 'This is Ground Control to Major Tom' There's no harm done And by the time you think you hit the wall You come running home Back home
