Alibi

You don't have to die if you don't wanna die
You can take it all back in the nick of time
Maybe even be a good friend of mine
Baby I
And we won't have to cry if we don't wanna cry
Maybe I got something left in this heart of mine
Awash in the sand on the beach of time
Baby I

You know, you know that time
Can take you for a ride
Can take you by surprise
Maybe you'll roll snake eyes
Baby, tell me why
You gotta play your luck?
Two aces call your bluff
I love you very much
And all that other stuff

Thawing out my heart like meat
I see your track marks poking through your hoodie sleeve
Tic-tac-toe game to the destiny
I grieve
Marching towards East River Park
You told me your big secret on the FDR
I couldn't hear you over choppers and the buzzing cars
So far

You know, you know that time
Can take you for a spin
Can really do you in
Can leave you with the bends
Baby, try to live again
And play another hand
Maybe we'll start a band
I wanna understand
Baby, help me understand

'Cause you don't have to die if you don't wanna die
Maybe I got something left that is worth a try
But I'm not gonna be your alibi
This time
