	It explains it on the faq section on thier site. "That was, strangely enough, a mistake. This is only on the US version. It will be added to the 2nd pressing." The also posted the lyrics there.

	I think this was written when his girlfriend broke up with him due to everything that built up to that point. It sounds like he wanted to overlook things that had happened in the past, but the past came back to haunt him. There were only two errors I spotted in the above lyrics. 1. From the truth down "through" the past 2. Will pierce "this" anecdote Lyrics - In the back of my mind a voice speaks spells out the master plan now I know she swings with the ease of a hammer from the truth down through the past and I know What's right, went wrong from when it started to this the finish I'll try to find a place in your new life.... To set the fire and cover your tracks Time will tell, the past laughs last syllables will try and judge you will pierce this anecdote now I know your plea is a case of reason and this deletes your alibi and I know once tried, left wrong from where it started, to here the finish I'll try to find a place in your new life The traps have been set and this will change everything Great Song!

	This song is, to me, about the end of a relationship, and a man's attempt to erase a woman from his life, including his memory. His 'Red Alibi,' fire, is burning her out of his life, erasing her tracks.. I also think the allusion to her as a criminal is a way of communicating how he thinks she has done wrongs to him.
