Alibi lyrics

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
