Текст The Mountain Goats – Alibi
Текст:
I got off work just past eleven
Laid one finger to the breeze
You can almost taste the action
On nights like these
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 tomorrow it rains, maybe tomorrow 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
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
