[00:25.37]It wasn't me, I wasn't there
[00:28.30]I was just watching from over here
[00:33.17]And besides, I couldn't afford the bus fare
[00:41.44]In Hollywood and Washington
[00:45.87]They shake and smile through the harm they've done
[00:50.39]But it's your little red wagon and you gotta pull it
[00:59.28]It'll take a lifetime to clear your name
[01:03.82]Under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime
[01:18.32]It wasn't me, I wasn't there
[01:20.03]I was stone drunk, it isn't clear
[01:23.87]And it doesn't count cause I don't care
[01:32.01]The years transform my memories
[01:37.87]Of all the countless decades of grief
[01:40.36]It was cut and run in '91
[01:49.11]Put yourselves in a straightjacket
[01:53.75]But when you're pleading
[01:56.15]Saying it's no cheaper than humiliation
[02:05.02]That's free...
[02:09.27]That's free...
[02:14.06]That's free...
[02:39.99]I've gone and quit my worshipping
[02:44.08]Of the false gods and golden sins
[02:48.42]Cause we've made love in the Tower of Babel and it fell down
[02:57.33]It wasn't me, I wasn't there
[03:01.36]That was not my love affair
[03:05.97]That is not my lover, that's not even my friend
[03:14.87]It wasn't me, I wasn't there
[03:19.86]I was stone drunk, it isn't clear
[03:24.67]And it doesn't count cause I don't care
[03:33.09]But I use a pop song to clear my name
[03:38.42]Under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime
[03:44.66]I'll end with a closer, and say goodnight
