Lyrics
Alibi
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The lights are going down
In every city town
But you’ll be fast asleep
There’s no one that can keep
The dream out of your heart
And when you fall apart
Just hold your head up high
You have an alibi in me
Can’t compromise me for you
That kind of trade would never do
Wearing shoes that don’t quite fit
You lose yourself bit by bit
Completely alone now, blank page beginning
Empty head the world is spinning
Control the strings, dancing puppet on a stage
A cage
The lights are going down
In every city town
But you’ll be fast asleep
There’s no one that can keep
The dream out of your heart
And when you fall apart
Just hold your head up high
You have an alibi in me
Late in the afternoon
The winter’s cold will soon
Rewrite the summer’s lies
With frozen alibis
The lights are going down
In every city town
But you’ll be fast asleep
There’s no one that can keep
The love out of your heart
And when you fall apart
Just hold your head up high
You have an alibi in me
