Alibi

Woke up today, my place a whole wreck

Can’t pay no maid to clean this whole mess

Suburban life has died, I write my own checks

Lately I’ve been drinking to forget

Pretend I don’t wake up in a cold sweat

Seems I’m the one with my hands round my own neck

Cause I took the shot, I rolled the spliff Hands on the wheel, I plead the fifth When I wake in the morning

Oh, my mind will be stormin’

I broke the glass, I watched it slip

I heard the crash, I steered the ship I’m just out here surviving

But I say that I’m flying

Another day, another high Another way to say I tried I’ll be okay, I’ll be alright Cause everyday’s an alibi

Today I want a new persona

Let someone else come take me over But when I’m back to clean and sober I’ll find that I’m just judging the posers

When I took the shot, I rolled the spliff Hands on the wheel, I plead the fifth When I wake in the morning

Oh, my mind will be stormin’

I hate the blues, I hate the greens I hate the part that no one sees But the feeling I’m hiding

Keeps me grounded from flying

Another day, another high Another way to say I tried I’ll be okay, I’ll be alright Cause everyday’s an alibi
