Alibi

You don't have to die if you don't wanna die

You can take it all back in the nick of time

Maybe even be a good friend of mine

Baby I

And we won't have to cry if we don't wanna cry

Maybe I got something left in this heart of mine

Awash in the sand on the beach of time

Baby I

You know, you know that time

Can take you for a ride

Can take you by surprise

Maybe you'll roll snake eyes

Baby, tell me why

You gotta play your luck?

Two aces call your bluff

I love you very much

And all that other stuff

Thawing out my heart like meat

I see your track marks poking through your hoodie sleeve

Tic-tac-toe game to the destiny

I grieve

Marching towards East River Park

You told me your big secret on the FDR

I couldn't hear you over choppers and the buzzing cars

So far

You know, you know that time

Can take you for a spin

Can really do you in

Can leave you with the bends

Baby, try to live again

And play another hand

Maybe we'll start a band

I wanna understand

Baby, help me understand

'Cause you don't have to die if you don't wanna die

Maybe I got something left that is worth a try

But I'm not gonna be your alibi

This time
