lyrics
She hangs in the shadow of my dreams and whispers
“You're colourless, almost invisible, like a pale, sad shadow”
And I'm chagrined to realize I believe her
I wish that I could find a way to deceive her
She reproaches and condemns me for the things that have eluded me
And the things I've let delude me. And she sneers, and she spits until I have to admit:
I didn't even try
But baby, you don't talk to me that way
Please don't listen to a word she makes me say
When she starts her dirty foreplay it's a dangerous maneuver 'cause you know
She's a liar, and you're my alibi
When you come to me and strap me down
And your eyes are profound with desire...sets my skin on fire
You grab hold of me and your heat explodes in me 'til I'm crying
“No, no! She's a liar!”
'Cause baby, you don't talk to me that way
Please don't listen to a word she makes me say
When she starts her dirty foreplay it's a dangerous maneuver 'cause you know
She's a liar, and you're my alibi
Then your fingers and your tongue wrap around me
And colours surround me, and blaze right through me
“You can't be what you want to be, you'll never be free!”
She screams at me
She's a liar. And you're my alibi
'Cause baby, you don't talk to me that way
Please don't listen to a word she makes me say
When she starts her dirty foreplay it's a dangerous maneuver 'cause you know
She's a liar, and you're my alibi
“You're colourless, almost invisible, like a pale, sad shadow”
And I'm chagrined to realize I believe her
I wish that I could find a way to deceive her
She reproaches and condemns me for the things that have eluded me
And the things I've let delude me. And she sneers, and she spits until I have to admit:
I didn't even try
But baby, you don't talk to me that way
Please don't listen to a word she makes me say
When she starts her dirty foreplay it's a dangerous maneuver 'cause you know
She's a liar, and you're my alibi
When you come to me and strap me down
And your eyes are profound with desire...sets my skin on fire
You grab hold of me and your heat explodes in me 'til I'm crying
“No, no! She's a liar!”
'Cause baby, you don't talk to me that way
Please don't listen to a word she makes me say
When she starts her dirty foreplay it's a dangerous maneuver 'cause you know
She's a liar, and you're my alibi
Then your fingers and your tongue wrap around me
And colours surround me, and blaze right through me
“You can't be what you want to be, you'll never be free!”
She screams at me
She's a liar. And you're my alibi
'Cause baby, you don't talk to me that way
Please don't listen to a word she makes me say
When she starts her dirty foreplay it's a dangerous maneuver 'cause you know
She's a liar, and you're my alibi

INTO THE ABYSS
by DANCE WITH THE DEADsupported by 14 fans who also own “Alibi”
This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven.
