"Accidents and Alibis"

[in_the_face_75]

Meet me at a quarter 'till midnight
When the curtains go down, lights go out
Surprise, Surprise.
Meet me where the key intersects the lock
We've got skeletons in our closets
Hidden bones that know who we are.
We're not liars [meet me at a quarter till midnight]
We just love to live the actors life [when the curtains go down, lights go out]
Surprise, Surprise.

Tear down your banners,
Blow out your candles,
You have nothing to hide behind.
You've got your accidents, I've got my alibis.
Surprise, Surprise.

Darling, keep yours eyes
off the side of the road
I know
its hard
to keep your face pointed the right way
Here we go again in the wrong direction.

I am the accident
that captures your imagination
I can hold your attention car wreck
I know you love
to see me like that
stretched out (stretched out)
on a double yellow line [with a siren for a soundtrack]
with a siren
for a soundtrack [with a siren for a soundtrack]
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Today's not that day,
and thats not who I am.
I'm not going down without a fight. {x2}

I know you saw me in the paper today.
I bet you cried when you realized,
That it wasnt,
an obituary.
I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I aim to disappoint.

And Im not going down without a fight [I am the accident that captures your imagination]

And Im not going down without a fight [I can hold your attention like a car wreck]

And I...motherfucker!

Today's not the day,
and thats not who I am.
I'm not going down without a fight. {x2}

P.S. the "And I...motherfucker!" part...the dots are because there are like 2 or 3 words there that I can't figure out....GRRR.
