Noir Excursion
Gotye

A handsome stranger

Gave me a ride

He had a suitcase full of lies

That he sold me

I sensed no danger

When I was there right by his side

He said I compelled him to confide

So he told me

Take this car

And drive downstate

Then take off the licence plates

And wait for me

I could have argued

But he said for my trouble I could keep

Half the money in the bag on the back seat

At least, that's what he told me

And he said he thought I looked trustworthy

And I must admit that the thrill of it all got the better of me

So I drove down the highway with great speed

Until they resounded behind me

Sirens! The police

They pull me over to the side of the road

And tell me that the car was stolen, that's why I was followed

I try to tell them I was only doing what I was told

But no, they won't listen to me

They cuff my hands and say

'Now girl, the money, where did you hide it?'

Then I know without even checking the bag

That there's no money inside it

But when they read my rights

I know that it's no use

Saying, 'I'm not lying'

No, please let me go

Please listen to me

I am not guilty

A handsome stranger tricked me

Why did he have to hand-pick me?

He told me to take this car

And drive downstate

Then to take off the licence plates

And wait there for him

But of course they don't believe me

So from there they drive me back to the station

And after I've been booked they began a three-day interrogation

I barely ate, I only slept an hour

But somehow I stayed patient and calm

They did me no harm

But the bag was the key to this mystery

He bought it the very same day that he

Robbed that bank upstate and then picked me

To be his fall guy patsy

Five years later

When I'd almost forgotten that nightmarish day

I was struck by the handsome features of a stranger across the way

As he got out of a car, with a girl behind the wheel, and I heard him say

Take this car

And drive downstate

Then take off the licence plates

And wait for me
