Alibi - Hurray for the Riff Raff

Lyrics by：Alynda Segarra

Produced by：Brad Cook

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
