It Wasn`t Me — текст песни (Jenny Lewis)

it wasn`t me, i wasn`t there
i was just watching 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 gotta pull it
it`ll take a lifetime to clear your name
under the bridges of fame it`s always nighttime

it wasn`t me, i wasn`t there
i was stone drunk, it isn`t clear
and it doesn`t count `cos i don`t care
the years transform my memories
of all the countless decades of grief
it was cut and run in `91
put yourselves in a straightjacket
but when you`re pleading
saying it`s no cheaper than humiliation
that`s free

i`ve gone and quit my worshipping
of the false gods and golden sins
`cos we made love in the tower of babel
and it fell down
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, `cos i don`t care

but i 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
