The expression "as the song (or book or bible or person) says" introduces the quoting of a text or song. The verb "to quote" indicates the recitation or citation of a piece of text or speech.

This is a false statement. Bruno tells Icarus that he won't attend Icarus' party because of a base jumping obligation, then goes on to say "I might not be back in time".
