The Mountain Goats - Alibi lyrics

I got off work just past eleven Laid one finger to the breeze You can almost taste the action On nights like these Trees were bending in the wind You were forty miles away And I was headed in your direction I've been waiting all day, I've been waiting all day Moon over West Covena was huge and white And I was like a patient on a table Headed for the light Lean toward the center divider Feel the wind in my hair Keep a light up in your window I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right there With a gleam in my eye And an almost airtight alibi Down by the chemistry building I found a quiet place to park And I made my way down the street toward your place Stepping lightly in the dark Climbed the steps up to your doorway Like a man prepared to jump underneath a train It's real warm outside tonight Maybe tommorow it rains, maybe tommorow it rains Inside your room we shut the window And we turned on a fan And we lay there together in the darkness I can keep a secret if you can Finishing one another's sentences Like a pair of identical twins Your boyfriend's out of town until tuesday And nobody saw me come in, nobody saw me come in With a gleam in my eye And an almost airtight alibi
