The sun comes up
Just like it does every day
I run and run
Just like I do every day
I had no choice
I was trapped by the turn of a card
But my luck held out
I must have a bullet-proof heart
I've been watching my back
I've been a-covering my trail
I'm a feather on the scales of justice
If you think it's a lie
I've got an alibi
'cos there's every chance I might get busted
And I've got witnesses to testify that I was forty miles away
Witnesses to testify that he was forty miles away
And I've got witnesses to testify that I was forty miles away
The moon comes up
Just like it does every night
You're in my dreams
Just like you are every night
I live my life
Lost in a world without wine
I hide away
Deep in the shadows of time
I've been watching my back
I've been a-covering my trail
I'm a feather on the scales of justice
If you think it's a lie
I've got an alibi
'cos there's every chance I might get busted
And I've got witnesses to testify that I was forty miles away
Witnesses to testify that he was forty miles away
And I've got witnesses to testify that I was forty miles away
Witnesses to testify that he was forty miles away
I've been watching my back
I've been a-covering my trail
I'm a feather on the scales of justice
If you think it's a lie
I've got an alibi
'cos there's every chance I might get busted
I've been watching my back
I've been a-covering my trail
I'm a feather on the scales of justice
If you think it's a lie
I've got an alibi
'cos there's every chance I might get busted
And I've got witnesses to testify that I was forty miles away
Witnesses to testify that he was forty miles away
And I've got witnesses to testify, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been watching my back
I've been a-covering my trail
I'm a feather on the scales of justice
If you think it's a lie
I've got an alibi
Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm-mmm
