jenny lewis – it wasn’t me lyrics
[verse 1]
it wasn’t me, i wasn’t there
i was just watchin’ from over here
and besides, i couldn’t afford the bus fare
in hollywood and washington
they shake and smile through the harm they’ve done
but it’s your little red wagon and you’ve gotta pull it
[chorus]
it’ll take a lifetime to clear your name
under the bridges of fame, it’s always nighttime
[verse 2]
it wasn’t me, i wasn’t there
i was stone-drunk, it isn’t clear
and it doesn’t count, ’cause i don’t care
the years transform my memories
of all the countless decades of greed
it was cut and run in ’91
[chorus]
put yourselves in a straight-jacket
but when you plead insane, it’s no cheaper than humiliation
that’s free
that’s free
that’s free
[verse 3]
i’ve gone and quit my worshippin’
of the false gods and golden sins
’cause we made love in the tower of babel
and it fell down
[verse 4]
it wasn’t me, i wasn’t there
that was not my love affair
that is not my lover, that’s not even my friend
it wasn’t me, i wasn’t there
i was stone-drunk, it isn’t clear
and it doesn’t count, ’cause i don’t care
[chorus]
but i’ll use a pop song to clear my name
under the bridges of fame, it’s always nighttime
i’ll end with a closer and say goodnight
[outro]
say goodnight jenny
