Tainted Alibi © Baker /Westwood
A shallow Smile She casts no shadow
Is it a trick of the light?
Or do I see her hesitate and break her stride
When I call she cannot speak
Is there someplace she’d rather be ?
Its hard to play the second string
Give it all and not gain a thing
Tainted alibi
is there something she has a reason to hide
Tainted alibi
I never know if she means hello or goodbye
And there’s a certain kind of distance between her and the truth
and the words she uses taste like some tainted alibi
She does this little one act show
where the characters come and go
no flowers no applause silence as the curtains fall
the sharpest blade cannot cut as deep
the way her words slice into me
serve me up baby I’m your lie give me up your
tainted alibi
is there something she has a reason to hide
tainted alibi
I never know if she means hello or goodbye
And there’s a certain kind of distance between her and the truth
and the words she uses taste
like some tainted alibi
Connect the dots its obvious
That nothing seems to fit
A bitter taste to sweet to swallow
and that's the end of it
Its tainted
Solo
there’s a certain kind of distance
between her and the truth
and the words
she uses taste like some kind of tainted alibi
tainted alibi
tainted alibi
bye bye bye
She does this little one act show
where the characters come and go
no flowers no applause
just silence
A shallow Smile She casts no shadow
Is it a trick of the light?
Or do I see her hesitate and break her stride
When I call she cannot speak
Is there someplace she’d rather be ?
Its hard to play the second string
Give it all and not gain a thing
Tainted alibi
is there something she has a reason to hide
Tainted alibi
I never know if she means hello or goodbye
And there’s a certain kind of distance between her and the truth
and the words she uses taste like some tainted alibi
She does this little one act show
where the characters come and go
no flowers no applause silence as the curtains fall
the sharpest blade cannot cut as deep
the way her words slice into me
serve me up baby I’m your lie give me up your
tainted alibi
is there something she has a reason to hide
tainted alibi
I never know if she means hello or goodbye
And there’s a certain kind of distance between her and the truth
and the words she uses taste
like some tainted alibi
Connect the dots its obvious
That nothing seems to fit
A bitter taste to sweet to swallow
and that's the end of it
Its tainted
Solo
there’s a certain kind of distance
between her and the truth
and the words
she uses taste like some kind of tainted alibi
tainted alibi
tainted alibi
bye bye bye
She does this little one act show
where the characters come and go
no flowers no applause
just silence
