Alibi

I'll survive you, i will survive you
Well, it's too late, i know, to change the way we go
From this day on i want to stay on
Now that i've started learning
And the tides started turning
Well, it's here i want to stay

I'll let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here

I'm alive here, i can survive dear
Though the weather might change
From the wind to the rain
Well, my heart remains the same

I'll let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here

Looked out on a sea of trouble
And i tried to stall for awhile
It's so hard to answer every question
And it's hard to protect your heart anymore

I'll let the moon announce my arrival (i am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but i wonder)
Where do we go from here

I'll let the moon announce my arrival (i am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but i wonder)
Where do we go from here

I'll let the moon announce my arrival (i am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but i wonder)
Where do we go from here ...

Who's that knockin' on my door this mornin'
Can't they see i'm dead
There ain't nothin' left to do this mornin'
'cept to make it to my bed

I was out till all hours
Raisin' cain once again
I don't care about the hours
Only how much did i spend

'cause i got a hangover
I won't make it through the day
I got a hangover
So just leave me where i lay

I started slow after sundown
I tiptoed right up till ten
Then after while i went downtown
It was the beginning of my end

Now i got a hangover
I won't make it through the day
I got a hangover
So just leave me where i lay

Oh, how am i gonna stake my claim on the future
When i cannot lift my head
Oh, i ain't nothin' but a drunken loser
And my liver's overfed

'cause i got a hangover
I won't make it through the day
'cause i got a hangover
So just leave me where i lay

Now i got a hangover
I won't make it through the day
'cause i got a hangover
So just leave me where i lay
So just leave me where i lay

Well, she said all along, i'm her one
A little fingernail polish, chewin' gum
Her round the world heart made of platinum, that's right

She looks like a china doll baby, especially in white
A tropicana flower in the candlelight
She turned into a pumpkin pie, sweet kiss at midnight

She moves, oh so fine
She's like a perfect valentine
She's not one to fall in love
She's too high on the stars above at night

She wants to be your red-hot mama, all alone
She dances with the boys on the telephone
She makes a lotta noise in the quiet zone at night

Yeah, you talk about a party at the beach, ain't that grand
She just took a raincheck with another man
Who lay on the deck of his catamaran some night

She moves, oh so fine
She's like a perfect valentine
She's not one to fall in love
She's too high on the stars above at night

Well, i can't tell you much, but what i know (what i know)
You can't take her with you when it's time to go
'cause she knows where it's at with a romeo, you'll see

She moves, oh so fine
She's like a perfect valentine
She's not one to fall in love
She's too high on the stars above at night

She moves
Just like a perfect valentine
She's not one to fall in love
She's too high on the stars above at night

Wherever i go it's coming back to me
Whoever i've known they sent it back to me
I know the night will be all right
As long as your love keeps coming

Right back to me, right back to me
For all to see that our love is true

I put on a show, it's very clear to me
And when i am low i feel you're near to me
I know the night will be all right
As long as your love keeps coming

Right back to me, right back to me
For all to see that our love is true

I recall some years ago, when i truly was alone
Now at last all that is past
Now i'm never on my own.

I know my light will be shining bright
As long as your love keeps coming

Right back to me, right back to me
For all to see that our love is true ...

I walk along the road and past your door
Then i remember things you said
I know in time we could've been so much more
But if you wanna come back home, go right ahead

But i don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But i thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are

I believe i was your game, your ball (your ball)
If you tossed me up then i would fall
And so you've won again, ah, you win them all
But i believe i'd run to you, if you should call

But i don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
But i thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)

I believe that somewhere there's someone
Who's gonna light the way when things go wrong
The bullet that shot me down came from your gun
The words that turned me round were from your song

But i don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
But i thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)

But i don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
But i thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are

There's a bright light that's shinin' in your face
You can't even see me at all
Oh, you look like an angel out of place
At this downtown devil's bar

Do you wanna dance girl
You said no thanks
And i watched you drift away
Well you had your chance

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one

If i come back here i might see you again
And maybe you'd say yes
But it's a losin' game i'm tryin' to win
And i can only guess

Do you have somebody (watchin')
Who watches you
As you let down your hair
By the light of the moon

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one
Knowin' you could've been the one

Where do you go when the night ends
Are you just a dream that fades into gray
Visions of you will not leave me alone
Why did you have to turn away

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one ...
