Gomez - Rhythm And Blues Alibi lyrics

<intro>

You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi

You can sell your soul and lay the blame 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

Cannot look old Son House in the eyes

I know where you carry such a fragile load

But I've got yours, and you've got mine

It's a rhythm and blues alibi

<instrumental>

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,

Couldn't I look old sunhouse in the eyes,

I know where 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 etc.
