[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
