Lyrics 

Angels and Alibis

Let your imagination lay down and take a rest
I’ll do my best to do the rest, hmmm hmmm

You can only save the world but once or twice a week
When angels and alibis are steppin on your feet

So let’s make for the country, head for the coast
The boldness of bold fools is the road I travel most

Lately I’ve been living crazy
Stammered stoned or just plain lazy
Lady maybe someday we’ll play it straight, but let’s just wait

There’s a great and unsung army flying
Green with the hummingbird
Fighting for existence with the flight of every word

Dreamers don't need deadlines
Don’t need jet airlines to fly
When angels and alibis are walking by their side

So let’s make for the country, head for the coast
The boldness of bold fools is the road I travel most

Lately I’ve been living crazy
Stammered stoned or just plain lazy
Lady maybe someday we’ll play it straight, but let’s just wait

Let your imagination lay down and take a rest
I’ll do my best to do the rest, hmmm hmmm

You can only save the world but once or twice a week
When angels and alibis are steppin on your feet

Lately I’ve been living crazy
Stammered stoned or just plain lazy
Lady maybe someday we’ll play it straight, but let’s just wait
