lyrics

9 – Alibi


be the lullaby, for my sleepless nights
be the parachute, for my fear of heights
be the crystal ball, that only I can see
be the Virgin Mary, that only sleeps with me

be the Joan of Arc, for who I’ll aim
be the oxygen, for my lonely flame
be the cornerstone, for all of my beliefs
be the prophecy, that my kids should eat

give me some love, love, love
I want you love, love, love
I need your love, love, love
as I wait for the rain

be the thin red line, that I’ll try to keep
and if I fail, be my retreat
I was born of you, I’m your chosen one
you’re the golden bullet, I’m your golden gun

be the good father, who abandoned me
be the faithful mother, who couldn’t see
that all the love, that she had to give
without forgiveness, was a tainted gift

give me some love, love, love
I want your love, love, love
I need your love, love, love
as I wait for the rain

be the patience, cause it’s what I need
be the gravity, that plants these seeds
we don’t ever choose, what we’re here to do
and that’s my alibi, for loving you

Kliffs Berlin, Germany

Kliffs write recycled tone poems for the perpetually bemused, and pop songs for shy dancers. They channel the quiet of early morning sun rays tickling cloud banks and mix it up with songs better suited to late-night inner city bicycle rides.
