Lyrics:
or twice
In my loneliness I watched the world go by
There was I
One too many miles beyond where you might say
Some luck was due, after all
We could have
The rain slammed hard as bars
It caught me by surprise
Mutts of the planet
And shook me down for alibis
I'm waiting
For the keeper to release me
wrapped up in the strangle silk
Of this cobweb town where culture is king?
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
I close my eyes and think
Oh, you say that it wasn't your fault
The reason that you're late
You had some good excuses
And your alibis are great
You think by now you
got a smile I love
And you've a style I love
And your caress
Is all my heart is dreaming of
But if you keep stalling
By the time we click
I'll be
this morning
Like me, the sun was high
Well I started walking the long way home
Just to think of an alibi
Well I couldn't think of a darn gawn thing
The keeper of the gates of wisdom
Please let me in
'Cause I just can't go through
Another heartache again
Pretty lies and alibis
How could I be
Smoke in my alibis
Taken by surprise
A mountain full of rage
A mountain full of rage
And every second of the hour gone
Every minute that I don't
the dead just leave them in piles
everybody knows that's just how it goes
silk cocoon
silk cocoon
silk cocoon
silk cocoon
never knew her name she just went
igniting my fuse
I was blinded by the blackness
Of her long silk stockings
She was rocking with an optical illusion
This ain't how I'd thought it'd be

Why should I be embarrassed
Say things I never mean
Worry too much for no
two refugees
Shadowed eyes and alibis
Tell you too late you've been victimized.
Freedom is near but seems to elude you
Trying to change you dreams
home
When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
should be in silk and lace
The prettiest girl that you have ever seen
Jane, Jane, Jane, mark my bonnie Jane
As sweet as sugar in the cane, don't be
A low setting sun
In a Memphis sky
The clouds roll by
A shot silk tie
One shot rang
A still distant thunder
Amazing grace sang in tears
From one king
it's 2 a.m.
It ain't driving by her house,
To find her wrapped up,
In the arms of you ex-best friend.
It ain't bold face lies or alibis,
That cannot
After hundreds of lies and fake alibis
After too many times staying out all night
After too many women, too
Many times of acting free
After all
You've got your hands tied
Missed out on a good thing
Bye
By the skin of your teeth
Why?
Guess is as good as mine
Huh
Get a grip, get real
Don't cry
Well I've got a long black six passenger limousine
A palace in Dallas a club in New Orleans
Diamonds on my fingers silk imported clothes
And I
shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell and touch the silk in your lapel
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You
first wandered down into town
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion,
Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin' to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope that you won't see me in my
minute of every hour of every day when I wish I could possess her"
Forty days passed by
Forty alibis
So carry on...that way
And in time...you'll pay
dress you up in silk so fine
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Oh, mother dear, when we were dying
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
You did not treat us then
