Misunderstood the school motto Want your words to be like swallows taking flight Caught it when I kissed your mother Obsessing over pretty Geminis Looking up the planet's movements you analyse Where do they go when you're sleeping Oh... go write some alibis It was not me It was a friend of mine Go write that stupid Valentine Clean your room up Learn your lesson This ain't no western You'll run Out of time They'll come running when you whistle Cinematic kid you bristle with easy lines Lapping up all the broken laughter But modern boys they will bury you If you plan on fighting behind stereo battle lines Gone are the days of rough and tumble Oh... go write some alibis It was not me It was a friend of mine Go write that stupid Valentine Clean your room up Learn your lesson This ain't no western You'll run Out of time Don't let 'em crush all your levity They'll make you do it over until you do it right She'll call you to say come tomorrow Sipping on milk deliveries In an alley with some beetles and bailing twine Go gather up the kindle for your soul And go write some alibis It was not me It was a friend of mine That's not my writing on that Valentine Clean your room up Learn your lesson This ain't no western You'll run Clean your room up Learn your lesson This ain't no western Clean your room up Learn your lesson This ain't no western You'll run Out of time
