Orange Ties & Alibis

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Gold plate on the elevator Name big on a little hand Talking like a skyscraper Built it all on borrowed land Spray tan, stand in the mirror Say "you’re winning" every day But the crowd gets clearer, nearer They ain’t buying what you say [Chorus] You got orange ties and alibis Big talk, tiny truth inside Every line a bigger lie Still you brag, still you brag (oh my) Orange ties and alibis Wave your hands like you’re the sky But when history hits rewind You can’t hide, you can’t hide [Verse 2] Shout "fake" when the facts appear Sign your name on every fear Turn a rumor to a cheer Like a show you run each year Golf cart on the fairway grass Blame the storm for every loss All that fortune, all that glass One small stone could break it off [Chorus] You got orange ties and alibis Big talk, tiny truth inside Every line a bigger lie Still you brag, still you brag (oh my) Orange ties and alibis Wave your hands like you’re the sky But when history hits rewind You can’t hide, you can’t hide [Bridge] Are you counting towers Or the people that you’ve burned? Is a headline power If the lesson’s never learned? Crowds fade, cameras die But the echo stays behind (yeah) [Chorus] Orange ties and alibis Big talk, tiny truth inside Every line a bigger lie Still you brag, still you brag (oh my) Orange ties and alibis Wave your hands like you’re the sky But when history hits rewind You can’t hide, you can’t hide
