Gotye - Noir Excursion
A handsome stranger
Gave me a ride
He had a suitcase full of lies
That he sold me
But 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
Sirens
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
And 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
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
