Alibi

Photographic memories

Scanners on our love affair

Like we were the L.A. Times

The headlines read, 'Beware'

I don't deal in hearsay

Calculation ain't my game

But today I see you

And I hang my head in shame

Lipstick on your collar

And the color isn't mine

White lines on the dresser

And you even drank my wine

Babe, your face is flushed

It's more than just a hunch

Tell me, what's this fear

Maybe she's still here

Baby, you're an alibi

You cross your heart and hope to die

Promising to tell no lies

Baby, you're an alibi

Looking out the window

I can hear an engine roar

Cobalt Blue Pantera dashes through the garage door

Now you cry injustice and synthetic violins

Every night outside my door

Acandle in the wind

Lipstick on your collar

And the color isn't mine

White lines on the dresser

And you even drank my wine

Babe, your face is flushed

It's more than just a hunch

Tell me, what's this fear

Maybe the picture is clear

Baby, you're an alibi

You cross your heart and hope to die

Promising to tell no lies

Baby, you're an alibi

Ooh ah, baby

Ooh ah, alibi

Ooh ah, baby

Ooh ah, alibi

Lipstick on your collar

And the color isn't mine

White lines on the dresser

And you even drank my wine

Babe, your face is flushed

It's more than just a hunch

Tell me, what's this fear

Maybe the end is near

Alibi

You crossed your heart and hoped to die

Promising to tell no lies

Baby, you're just an alibi

Alibi

You crossed your heart and hoped to die

Promising to tell no lies

Baby, you're just an alibi

You're just an

Just an, just an, just an

Alibi

You crossed your heart and hoped to die

Promising to tell no lies

Baby, you're just an alibi

I flash back to another time zone

When you were late most every night

I was a prisoner by my own device

And what about your distant cousin?

You know the one that lives in France

No introduction, only a harlequin romance

Ooh, alibi

(Love, lines, angles and rhymes)

Alibis

You crossed your heart and hoped to die

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Alibis

You're gonna hurt me, baby
