Misunderstood the school motto
Want your words to be like swallows taking flight
Caught it when I kissed your mother
Obsessing over pretty Geminis
Looking up the planet's movements you analyse
Where do they go when you're sleeping
Oh... go write some alibis
It was not me
It was a friend of mine
Go write that stupid Valentine
Clean your room up
Learn your lesson
This ain't no western
You'll run
Out of time
They'll come running when you whistle
Cinematic kid you bristle with easy lines
Lapping up all the broken laughter
But modern boys they will bury you
If you plan on fighting behind stereo battle lines
Gone are the days of rough and tumble
Oh... go write some alibis
It was not me
It was a friend of mine
Go write that stupid Valentine
Clean your room up
Learn your lesson
This ain't no western
You'll run
Out of time
Don't let 'em crush all your levity
They'll make you do it over until you do it right
She'll call you to say come tomorrow
Sipping on milk deliveries
In an alley with some beetles and bailing twine
Go gather up the kindle for your soul
And go write some alibis
It was not me
It was a friend of mine
That's not my writing on that Valentine
Clean your room up
Learn your lesson
This ain't no western
You'll run
Clean your room up
Learn your lesson
This ain't no western
Clean your room up
Learn your lesson
This ain't no western
You'll run
Out of time
