Dirt Poor Robins - Alibi lyrics
[Dirt Poor Robins - Alibi lyrics]
Stand back, step away from the radio
It's filling with smoke and all
The songs of tote leave it alone
Have a glance, there's no chance
That it might be saved
Surrounded by flies, no chance for enterprise
Dig it a grave
Now I've got an alibi for you were with
Me on the night the music died
My name is clear, no need to hide
For I've come to testify that
All these facts are verified the music died
We're all victims of this crime
Here come the lawyers
They're getting ready to make their case
They plan to litigate, carry
On a long debate, and hold back the pace
But soon their heads bow as they wonder how
This could be and who is to blame
Why did we hesitate
Let it fall so out of date? Ain't it a shame?
Now I've got an alibi for you were with
Me on the night the music died
My name is clear, no need to hide
For I've come to testify that
All these facts are verified the music died
We're all victims of this crime
Remember long ago when tubes would glow
Our minds would blow, and rock would roll
It fed your soul
They claimed that video had killed you then
That's what they said, but now we know
You were scared to death, instead
Now I've got an alibi for you were with
Me on the night the music died
My name is clear, no need to hide
For I've come to testify that
All these facts are verified the music died
We're all victims of this crime
It's filling with smoke and all
The songs of tote leave it alone
Have a glance, there's no chance
That it might be saved
Surrounded by flies, no chance for enterprise
Dig it a grave
Now I've got an alibi for you were with
Me on the night the music died
My name is clear, no need to hide
For I've come to testify that
All these facts are verified the music died
We're all victims of this crime
Here come the lawyers
They're getting ready to make their case
They plan to litigate, carry
On a long debate, and hold back the pace
But soon their heads bow as they wonder how
This could be and who is to blame
Why did we hesitate
Let it fall so out of date? Ain't it a shame?
Now I've got an alibi for you were with
Me on the night the music died
My name is clear, no need to hide
For I've come to testify that
All these facts are verified the music died
We're all victims of this crime
Remember long ago when tubes would glow
Our minds would blow, and rock would roll
It fed your soul
They claimed that video had killed you then
That's what they said, but now we know
You were scared to death, instead
Now I've got an alibi for you were with
Me on the night the music died
My name is clear, no need to hide
For I've come to testify that
All these facts are verified the music died
We're all victims of this crime
