Alibi

Vandenberg Alibi Lyrics
1.Alibi

Too far gone, someone's gonna understand
She controls my mind, makes me do things I don't want to
She's the dangerous kind, there was nothing I could do

I'm standing all this playing games, but this time she pushed me
too far
Oh-oh, the damage is done

Chorus:
Now that there is nowhere to run, need an alibi
Now that there is nowhere to run, need an alibi

She's the one to blame, she's got my soul
I just can't seem to leave her alone
Far too late, I found out what you were up to

As if hypnotized, I played criminal to please you
And totally paralyzed, now there's nothing I can do

I don't wanna live like this, but now it seems there ain't no
way back
Oh-oh, I'm caught in a trap

(chorus)

She knows just what to do to turn me on, she makes me do
whatever she wants

(Solo)

(chorus)

She knows just what to do to turn me on, she makes me do
whatever she wants

(chorus repeats out)


2.All The Way

I should have believed what they said, now it's too late to go
back
This didn't turn out like I planned, seems I gotta go on 'til
the end
Now two cops are killed by my gun, oh-oh-oh, this place is hot,
gotta run

A price on my head, my picture's all over the place
It ain't my turn yet so I'll win this race

Chorus:
Goin' all the way, I'm goin' all the way
Reached the point where there ain't no way back
Goin' all the way, gotta go all the way, I'm in this right up to
my neck

This just isn't my kind of life, no no, but in movies it always
seems so fine
There crooks always pull hot women
But all I have pulled, all I have pulled is the trigger, oh-oh

A price on my head, my picture's all over the place
It ain't my turn yet so I'll win this race

(chorus)

It ain't my turn yet so I'll win this race

Reached the point where there ain't no way back
Goin' all the way, gotta go all the way, I'm in this right up to
my neck
Goin' all the way, I'm goin' all the way
Reached the point where there ain't no way back - all the way!


3.Dressed To Kill

Oh yeah, for me she's the one, when I see her walk, she sets my
soul on fire
My self-control's gone, get a heart-attack the moment that she
smiles

I know she knows I'm there, but she pretends she don't care

legs
She must be aware, someone's choking, someone's gotta have some
air

I know she knows I'm there, but she pretends she don't care

Chorus:
She's dressed to kill, and I know that she will, and I'm her
prey
She's dressed to kill, and I know that she will, and I'm her
prey

Woman, one of these days I will break this truce, tell you what
I need
I'll have my way, 'cos a cemetery ain't no cool place to me

I know she knows I'm there, but she pretends she don't care

(chorus)

(Solo)

(chorus)

She's dressed to kill, and I know that she will, and I'm her
prey
She's dressed to kill


4.Fighting Against The World

I don't agree with the way some people make all the rules,
control society
No rules for me, I wanna live my life the way I want, no one's
controlling me

They say I'm wrong, I know I'm right
I make my own rules and fight (I'm gonna make my own rules and
fight)

Chorus:
I'm fighting against the world, my back against the wall
That's the way I'm gonna fall

I've got my dreams, yeah, done what I wanna do in my life
What I want to achieve
Sometimes it seems, everytime I make a move
Someone gets in my way, takes the lead, oh

I'll get what I want, I'll make a stand
I'm gonna fight 'til the end (gonna fight until the very end)

(chorus)

I've got a long way to travel, before I reach the place where I
wanna be
Sooner or later I'll get there, I'll have my way
Don't stop me now, you might get in trouble, you see

(Solo)

(Fighting against the world)

One thing I know, I walk the right way, for me, there is only
one way to go
All the time it shows, there are so many things in my life
That are worth fighting for, yeah

I know I've got one foot in the door, I'm gonna be pushing for
more
(I'm gonna push back at you for more)

(chorus)

I'm fighting against the world, my back against the wall

(Solo)

Fight!


5.How Long

It took so long to find you, now you say that you need some more
time
Somehow I'm getting used to, hangin' 'round 'til you've made up
your mind

Everytime you need me, you just call knowing that I will be
right there
A fool for your love, but I don't care

Chorus:
How long, how long will you keep me hangin' on
How long, how long, don't know if I can hold on

I never realized love is more than a game to play
Used to spend my time, breaking hearts now I find that I'm
paying my debt
Now it's my heart that breaks and it hurts so bad

(chorus)

So many things to do, so many things to say
(What you wanted to say, we shouldn't wait too long)
We shouldn't wait too long, it seems like such a waste

(Solo)

So many things to do, so many things to say, oh
We shouldn't wait too long, it seems like such a waste (how
long)
How long?

(chorus)


6.Kamikaze

(Instrumental)


7.Once In A Lifetime

You needed your freedom, I thought that I needed mine
We both were too young to know, we shouldn't let it go
We went our own ways, and time passed us by
Now when I think of those schooldays, I realize

Chorus:
Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one
in a million)
Our love was that special kind that's so hard to find, but we
didn't realize

Yesterday in and out another town, suddenly saw your face
Right out there in the crowd
You said you were happy, you got someone who treats you right
And I recognize that fire in your eyes, oh girl you should be
mine, 'cos

(chorus)

Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one
in a million)

I've had my share of love, oh I know how to play the game
No never been the same, never been the same

Once in a lifetime, one in a million
I know I'm just chasing dreams and I just can't seem to get you
off my mind

Once in a lifetime, one in a million... (repeats out)


8.Pedal To The Metal

I've been held back way too long, sung in the same old songs
This last speed's too low for me, I'm changing to a higher gear

Some guys like to live real quiet, rather get them tired
Try to live my best for you babe, but it seems like it's your

Ain't gonna wait, nothing can stop me now, we're back in the
race, ow

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop (now) - don't
stop me now
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop me now

You're so fast and free your town, tried to settle down
Listen girl, that's just fine, but forty years from now

Been rolling the dice - look out

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop (now) - don't
stop me now
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop me now
Pedal to the metal - pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal - pedal to the metal

(Solo)

Yeah! Uh!

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, pedal to the metal - ohh
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead - yeah - pedal to the metal
- c'mon

Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop now
Pedal to the metal - to the metal - full speed ahead
Don't stop (now) - don't stop me now
Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, don't stop - don't stop -
me now


9.Prelude Mortale

(Instrumental)


10.Voodoo

She, she don't seem strange to me, I was in love and too blind
to see, oh
She (she) warned me to treat her right (get that warning)
She wouldn't let no one hurt her inside, no

Chorus:
She is such a voodoo, she won't let me go - should have believed
her before
She is such a voodoo, needles in a doll, everything's been my
own fault

Still I see that look in her eyes (get that warning)
And she said she's sad with me or my life (tell me what you told
her then)
When (when) I told her it's over (now it's over)
She just said 'No (no), I won't let you go' (she'll never let
you go)

(chorus)

When I tried to get away, suddenly everything hurts
She's got a way to make me stay, kind of a voodoo curse

(Solo)

(chorus)

She won't let me go (she), she won't let me go (she is such a
voodoo)
It's my own fault!
