Ocean Colour Scene - Alibis lyrics

You told so many lies
Your tongue is black with fireflies
But you 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
And memorised 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

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
