Alibis

Alibis - Ocean Colour Scene

Written by：Oscar Harrison/Simon Fowler/Damon Minchella/Steve Cradock

You told so many lies your tongue is black with fireflies

This spit them out and pretend you're sneezing

And every word is such a joke

With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old

Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey hey what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would never need it

Hey hey what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would ever believe it

It's just a thought and nothing more

That all your thoughts and moves are taught

Memorized each night before your sleeping

And every word is such a joke

Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope

Will win you friends and give your life some meaning

Hey hey what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would never need it

Hey hey what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would ever believe it

You told so many lies your tongue is stained with alibis

You've been around the world and found it pleasing

And every word is such a joke

With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old

Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey hey what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would never need it

Hey hey what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would ever believe it
