Gomez - Rhythm & Blues Alibi lyrics

You can write your tunes with rhythm
And blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay
The blame all on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
And swing it out and use
It as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go
There's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice
Try anything twice

Chasing after stories that have
Already been told
Could not look old Son House in the eyes
Unaware you carry such a fragile load
But, I've got yours, and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la la la la la la laaa
You can take a trip through
Your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, 'cause you
Are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice
You'd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now

Chasing after stories that have
Already been told
Could not look old Son House in the eyes
Unaware you carry such a fragile load
And I've got yours, you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi la la la la la
