lyrics

Golden Emerald Jewelry that dangles from her neck
The ribbon that ties her hair, the laces on her dress
the poise and subtle elegance that covers up the rest
she's doing what she does best.

Slowly sipping from her glass, a heavily powdered rim
the talcum breath and snowflakes leaving remnants on her chin
she's careful not to break her act so she conjures up a grin
to cover up her last sin

beautiful her smile, merely hides whats underneath
the napkin that she uses just to hide her grinding teeth
and covering the alibi that only she believes
thats keeping her from her sleep

and it was you and i, standing side by side
now i don't need reasons why
its just another alibi

all the promises that you could never keep
you let the man in white just take you away from me
do you enjoy his grip, its tighter than foreseen
and you know that you can't be freed

it was you and i
standing side by side
now i don't need reasons why
its just another alibi
