Alibis

You told so many lies 
Your tongue is black with fireflies 
But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing 
And every word is such a joke 
With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old 
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say 
Don't think that I would never need it 
Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say 
Don't think that I would ever believe it

It's just a thought and nothing more
That all your thoughts and moves are taught 
And memorised each night before your sleeping 
And every word is such a joke 
Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope 
Will win you friends and give your life some meaning

(Repeat chorus)

You told so many lies 
Your tongue is stained with alibis 
You've been around the world and found it pleasing 
And every word is such a joke 
With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old 
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

(Repeat chorus)
