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)
