Waiting For An Alibi - Thin Lizzy

Valentinos got a booky shop and what he takes

He gives for what hes got

And what hes got he says he has not

Stolen from anyone

Its not that he dont tell the truth

Or even that he misspent his youth

Its just that he holds the proof

But you feel theres somethings wrong

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

Valentinos in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet

Against the odds he smokes another cigarette

Says that it helps him to forget

That hes a nervous wreck

Its not that he misses much

Or even that hes lost his lucky touch

Its just that he gambles so much

And you know that its wrong

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting just to catch your eye

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

Try to say I told you I told you

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting just to get you

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi

To say I told you

Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi
