(Downes/Howe/Palmer/Wetton)
This time, you know just what I'm saying
But you could never give a damn
Or so it seems

It's a fine line with this game that you're playing
And you could always turn around
Go running for home

ALIBIS, little lies
Procrastination
Secrecy, duplicity
The end of your ALIBIS

Something I could always believe in
Suddenly just disappeared
It's all over now

ALIBIS, little lies
Procrastination
Secrecy, duplicity
The end of your ALIBIS

Goodbye your tiny whispers of comfort
Never the victim of circumstance
You had me deceived

So Jodie, maybe this is the last time
That I will ever speak your name
I'm going home

ALIBIS, little lies
Procrastination
Secrecy, duplicity
The end of your ALIBIS
