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)
