ALIBI
(written by Alynda Segarra)

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 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,
Tik Tak Toe game to the destiny
I grieve.

Marching towards East River Park,
You told me your big secret by the FDR.
I couldn't hear you over choppers and the buzzing cars,
So far..

You know that time will 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.
