Steve Harley - THE ALIBI lyrics

Flicking through her horoscope

She's entranced by the message

Moved like an innocent child

She's not content to sell her dream

In a picture-frame of dispair

Looking for an alibi

She can depend on the rebel

to rise from the ashes and fly

Sensing that there's something wrong

She's in tune with the song of adventure

Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl

From high society

Victim of a color-packed magazine

Ringing out the chimes of dawn

Sensing that there's something wrong

So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi

Ringing out the chimes of dawn

Sensing that the chance has gone

So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide

Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi

Tapping into real affection

Is hard for the lady

Lost on the innocent child

Looking for an alibi

She's immune to the moral conventions

Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl

From high society

Victim of a color-packed magazine

Ringing out the chimes of dawn

Sensing that there's something wrong

So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi

Ringing out the chimes of dawn

Sensing that the chance has gone

So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide

Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi

Chorus
