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)
