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
