    Story Behind the Song
    The band wrote this song in about an hour. During a practice session, we somehow became incensed with the pulse of this song... the music and the words all came together within an hour, although we've worked very hard at the arrangement.
    This was the first true "Caravan" song, the first song we all truly wrote together. RayRay brought in the picking part you hear at the beginning of the song, and then Michael had the impetus to drive the balld-esque part into a rock song... at which moment Erin had some sort of channel open up and the words fired right out.

    Lyrics
    In all its splendor
    Your magnificent alibi
    Truth falling in my hand and gone with your lies again, again...

    Your alibi is shot
    I saw you down by the foggy river
    You walked across the bloody fields
    I saw your hair fall across your lover's lips
    I know how it is, I know who he is
    yes I know and I know I can't shut my eyes to the place where you killed me...

    I see through you
    the one who lied
    I see through
    your alibi
    I see through you
    the one who lied
    I see through
    your alibi

    Your alibi, he spied on me
    My eyes frozen beneath the white
    We cannot help ourselves as
    our souls kill each other life after life.
    I know how it is, I know who you are.
    Yes, I now and I know you can't be blamed for your ancestral ties.

    I see through you
    the one who lied
    I see through
    your alibi
    I see through you
    the one who lied
    I see through
    your alibi


    He stands before me
    as you turn away
    smoky spirits rise behind me
    again, again...

    Your alibi, he caught us both
    In bondage to his lies
    Your Judas kiss was our last look at each other in this life
    I know how it is, I know who you are
    Yes I know and I know I'll lie in wait for you
    Your white hot star

    I see through you
    the one who lied
    I see through
    your alibi
    I see through you
    the one who lied
    I see through
    your alibi
