Midnight Alibis
What do you want from me
What do you need from me
Have I got anything you want
Or is it just sympathy
Can you take any more of me
Without terminating me
Make me carry my cross
Just so that you can crucify me
You twisted my mind
With your words like steel
You splintered my soul
Rolled me ’round like a wheel
You washed out my brain with
Your saltwater lies
You cornered the market in
Midnight alibis
Alibis, alibis
Your midnight alibis
Waves of cynicism
Pour through y’r witticisms
Drown all y’r troubles in an
Ocean of criticism
It all seems so pointless
The things you do and say
Like calling me back just to
Chase me away
You twisted my mind
With your words like steel
You splintered my soul
Rolled me ’round like a wheel
You washed out my brain with
Your saltwater lies
You cornered the market in
Midnight alibis
Alibis, alibis
Your midnight alibis
Now I’m tearing down all the lies and facades
Won’t play no more harlequin, no more charades
Forget all your promises, you know they’re all lies
You can bury them all with your midnight alibis
Alibis, alibis, your midnight alibis
Alibis, alibis, your midnight alibis
Alibis, alibis, your midnight alibis
Your midnight alibis.
