ALIBI

IT WAS A NICE IDEA WHILE IT LASTED,
BUT IT LASTED JUST A LITTLE TOO LONG,
AND I GUESS WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME EXPLAIN' TO DO,
WHEN WE GET BACK WHERE WE BELONG,
'CAUSE YOU GOT SOMEBODY WAITING FOR YOU,
WATCHING THE CLOCK, AND WALKING THE FLOOR,
AND I'LL BE WAITING FOR THE STORM TO HIT,
FROM THE MOMENT I WALK THROUGH THE DOOR.

SO NOW, WHAT'LL WE USE AS AN ALIBI,
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL BELIEVE.
WE'RE GUILTY TILL WE'RE PROVEN INNOCENT,
AND THERE MAY NOT BE A REPRIEVE.
WE LET THE WHOLE NIGHT SLIP ON BY,
WE'RE IN MORE TROUBLE THAN WE CAN SEE,
'CAUSE I CAN'T USE YOU FOR AN ALIBI,
AND YOU SURE AS HELL CAN'T USE ME.

YOU KNOW THERE'S NO REAL REASON I CAN THINK OF,
WHY WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOGETHER AT ALL,
IT HAPPENED SO FAST, WE DIDN'T PLAN IT TOO WELL,
WE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE ON THE BALL.
EVERYTHING BACKFIRED THIS TIME FOR SURE,
TAKIN' A CHANCE, NOT THINKIN' WE'D LOSE,
WE KEPT ON GOIN', WE JUST COULDN'T STOP,
LOOKS LIKE WE'LL WIND UP PAYIN' THE DUES.

SO NOW, WHAT'LL WE USE AS AN ALIBI,
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL BELIEVE?
WE'RE GUILTY TILL WE'RE PROVEN INNOCENT,
AND THERE MAY NOT BE A REPRIEVE.
WE LET THE WHOLE NIGHT SLIP ON BY,
WE'RE IN MORE TROUBLE THAN WE CAN SEE,
'CAUSE I CAN'T USE YOU FOR AN ALIBI,
AND YOU SURE AS HELL CAN'T USE ME.
