Saturday morning a while before daylight I'm Lying here hoping for rain By tomorrow I could be anywhere Pa**ing streetcars alive without breathing I'm lost in the city again Without a purpose I can't believe anything And I know it's not my place To be asking these questions but I know I Can't just chase every world that I see Because This isn't real life This isn't happening Seems so believable But it's not the real thing This isn't real life It's just some enormous lie And I know I'll be fine this isn't real life Such a mystery Am I supposed to believe these illusions are real Out of focus, step out of character Into a world I can feel Maybe it's only a sense of propriety Keeping us grounded at all Or we'd run screaming Into the morning and out of control Maybe I can find some piece of a world I can handle Or a common line, any one sign All a part of me This isn't real life This isn't happening Seems so believable But it's not the real thing This isn't real life It's just an enormous lie And we'll be fine if we can find a real life Listen The world is listening in Every name and number Suddenly I can't believe my eyes We're gonna need those alibis Hoping it all just fades away Maybe they're all just paper Airplanes and imaginary cries They're not your neighbor We all have our alibis We've got our reasons and our reasonable words But we all just hide our eyes and make believe we never heard And when the sirens rise We're gonna need those alibis Helpless and hopeless on the screen Maybe another channel Might change the dialogue To talk about it doesn't hurt at all We all have our alibis We've got our reasons and our reasonable words We talk and talk as though there's nothing to it We can change it all As long as we don't have to do it We all have our alibis We've got our reasons and we Lie and lie and lie We all have our alibis We've got our reasons And if we're not afraid to fall We're not listening at all And when the silence fills the sky We're gonna need those alibis What does it matter if they're all lies
