Steve Harley - Alibi lyrics

Flicking through her horoscope She's entranced by the message Moved like an innocent child She's not content to sell her dream In a picture-frame of despair Looking for an alibi She can depend on the rebel To rise from the ashes and fly Sensing that there's something wrong She's in tune with the song of adventure Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl From high society Victim of a color-packed magazine Ringing out the chimes of dawn Sensing that there's something wrong So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi Ringing out the chimes of dawn Sensing that the chance has gone So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi Tapping into real affection Is hard for the lady Lost on the innocent child Looking for an alibi She's immune to the moral conventions Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl From high society Victim of a color-packed magazine Ringing out the chimes of dawn Sensing that there's something wrong So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi Ringing out the chimes of dawn Sensing that the chance has gone So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi [Chorus] [Chorus] [Chorus ].......
