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 form neon masts flying flags you hope
 will win you friends and give your life some meaning

 Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
 Don't think that I would ever need it
 Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
 Don't think that I would ever believe it

 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

 Hey,Hey - what's that I heard you say
