The Strange Familiar - Alibi lyrics

rate me

The lights are going down

In every city town

But you’ll be fast asleep

There’s no one that can keep

The dream out of your heart

And when you fall apart

Just hold your head up high

You have an alibi in me

Can’t compromise me for you

That kind of trade would never do

Wearing shoes that don’t quite fit

You lose yourself bit by bit

Completely alone now, blank page beginning

Empty head the world is spinning

Control the strings, dancing puppet on a stage

A cage

The lights are going down

In every city town

But you’ll be fast asleep

There’s no one that can keep

The dream out of your heart

And when you fall apart

Just hold your head up high

You have an alibi in me

Late in the afternoon

The winter’s cold will soon

Rewrite the summer’s lies

With frozen alibis

The lights are going down

In every city town

But you’ll be fast asleep

There’s no one that can keep

The love out of your heart

And when you fall apart

Just hold your head up high

You have an alibi in me
