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 [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
