Waiting for an Alibi (outake)

taken from the BLACK ROSE SESSIONS album

.... see also WILD ONE and BLACK ROSE versions
for alternate lyrics.

Chilly Willy got a booky shop
and whatever he takes he gives for what he's got
And everything he owns he knows has not
Stolen from anyone

It's not that he can't tell the truth
Or even that he misspends his youth
It's just that he holds the proof
And you know there's something's wrong

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for a friend of mine

Billy Jack is back
Keeps a gun in his haversack
He says he's gonna break her neck
Says that she makes him sick, she's a nervous wreck

It's not that he misses her
Or even that he's resisting her
It's just when he's kissing her
He feels that something's wrong

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for a friend of mine

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for another lie
(Waiting for another lie)

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for another lie
He's waiting waiting

Billy Joe got nowhere to go
Oh she's feeling low
Blow by blow she's goin' down
And she hears him so
It's not that she believes in much
Or that he needs her touch
It's so bad when one is
so much in love and it's wrong

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for another lie

Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for a friend of mine, Robert DeNero

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for another lie
Waiting for another lie

Waiting for the stars to shine
Waiting for the stars to shine
Waking up another time

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to tell a lie
Just to tell a lie

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
