Jump on the bus that takes me to your flat

It's up three flights of stairs, it's so convenient

Make no mistake, no, I can't quite explain

But if we don't leave now, we'll miss our train

How come, how come, how, how come

You've been telling lies?

How come, how come, how, how come?

Little secrets, alibis

How come, how come, how, how come?

Shadows cross your eyes

How come, how come, how, how come?

The actual details I can hardly remember now

And in the end, in the end, it doesn't matter anyhow

So unexpected, still I don't know why she wrote

A seventeen page letter just to say goodbye

How come, how come, how, how come

You've been telling lies?

How come, how come, how, how come?

Little secrets, alibis

How come, how come, how, how come?

Shadows cross your eyes

How come, how come, how, how come?

How come, how come, how, how come

You've been telling lies?

How come, how come, how, how come?

Little secrets, alibis

How come, how come, how, how come?

Shadows cross your eyes

How come, how come, how, how come?

How come, how come, how, how come

You've been telling lies?

How come, how come, how, how come?

Little secrets, alibis

How come, how come, how, how come?

Shadows cross your eyes

How come, how come, how, how come?

(How come? How come? How come?)

(You've been tellin' lies, how come?)

(No more alibis, how come?)
