Alibi Lyrics
Did you come down to give me
Or take me away?
So many things to tell you,
But now I don't have much to say.
And this feeling like we're hiding out
Is getting in the way.
Let's quit the town,
'Cause look around,
There's nothing here
To keep us alive.
And if they try to run us down,
You know I'm on your side.
And I want you to be my alibi.
So they won't find me
And they won't find you
And we may tell lies,
But we may be true.
Did you come down to take me
Or give me away?
So many things to ask you,
But now you don't have much to say.
And these alcoholic afternoons
Are getting in the way.
Let's quit the town,
'Cause look around,
There's nothing here
To keep us alive.
And if they try to run us down,
You know I'm on your side.
And I want you to be my alibi.
So they won't find me
And they won't find you
And we may tell lies,
But we may be true.
Or take me away?
So many things to tell you,
But now I don't have much to say.
And this feeling like we're hiding out
Is getting in the way.
'Cause look around,
There's nothing here
To keep us alive.
And if they try to run us down,
You know I'm on your side.
And I want you to be my alibi.
So they won't find me
And they won't find you
And we may tell lies,
But we may be true.
Or give me away?
So many things to ask you,
But now you don't have much to say.
And these alcoholic afternoons
Are getting in the way.
'Cause look around,
There's nothing here
To keep us alive.
And if they try to run us down,
You know I'm on your side.
And I want you to be my alibi.
So they won't find me
And they won't find you
And we may tell lies,
But we may be true.

This song is a great one. One of those that sticks in your head all days, offering no escape.
I've always wondered who the subjects are in this song..lovers, friends or parent/child, etc.? Wonder too what the circumstances are behind 'hiding out.' I guess a lot of possibilities come to mind. Great song!
