88 Fingers Louie
(album: Behind Bars)

He stumbles in at night and the clock says 3 a.m.
The love of his life just wonders where on earth he´s been

He can´t explain himself, a poor excuse is all he´s got
A mess of contradictions have his stomach tied in knots

She gets tired of waiting up all night
If he truly cared for her he´d stay at home tonight

He says he´s out with friends, then again he could be anywhere
She starts to have a nervous breakdown when he isn´t there
She tried to call him on the phone and no one´s there

No explanation - No explanation
No explanation can be given

Wide awake at night again. What is it gonna take?
He tries to speak, it makes her think his story is a fake
She can´t take these fables anymore
What she wants to know is what the phone numbers are for

He can´t explain himself, a poor excuse is all he´s got
A mess of contradictions have his stomach tied in knots
