The lights are going down
 In every city town
 But you'll be fast asleep
 There's no one that can keep
 The dream out of your heart
 And when you fall apart
 Just hold your head up high
 You have an alibi in me

 [bad word] me for you
 That kind of trade would never do
 Wearing shoes that don't quite fit
 You lose yourself bit by bit [bad word] alone now, blank page beginning
 Empty head the world is spinning
 Control the strings, dancing puppet on a stage
 cage

 The lights are going down
 In every city town
 But you'll be fast asleep
 There's no one that can keep
 The dream out of your heart
 And when you fall apart
 Just hold your head up high
 You have an alibi in me

 Late in the afternoon
 The winter's cold will soon
 Rewrite the summer's lies
 With frozen alibis

 The lights are going down
 In every city town
 But you'll be fast asleep
 There's no one that can keep
 The love out of your heart
 And when you fall apart
 Just hold your head up high
 You have an alibi in me
