Perfect

See the rivers filled with rain

I wish it could be blue again

Hazey petrol nights

Crimson sun on traffic lights

A perfect day, a perfect night

Tell me all those perfect lies

And lie back in the garden till it's light

Streets are full up every night

With people buzzing 'round the lights

And waving at the taxis driving by

Now tomorrow's here today

And yesterday's todays just fade away

Watch the morning chase the nights

Rolling home, it's getting lights

Feeling sleepy, full of wine

Fall in bed, just in time

Perfect stare of perfect eyes

That kiss you as they tell you lies

And wonder where you're going

Where have you been

In towers high with time to fill

Gardens in your window sill

In between the pavement and the sky

Now tomorrow's here today

And yesterday's todays just fade away

Tell me why all the words will never come out right

Fumblin' blind, I've been driving through the danger signs

A perfect day, a perfect night

Tell me all those perfect lies

And lie back in the garden till it's light

Perfect silence, me and you

It's really me, I really do

Remember every moment magnified

Now tomorrow's here today

And yesterday's todays just fade away

Tell me why all the words will never come out right

Fumblin' blind, I've been driving through the danger signs
