about

Just like all those other songs, about time, God and money... yet another song about something that doesn't really exist.

lyrics

today’s the perfect day / or a perfect world away / to lay down the cards for all to see / I could have told you from the start / because an old imperfect heart / swings like a pendulum in me / I told you from the start / we were sold imperfect parts / must I explain all this to you / see perfection / here’s the thing / it’s a pinhole not a pin / too small to see one damn thing through / in time your perfect smile / will turn away / to fix on something new / they always do / it’s a crime that perfect rhyme / will come untrue / & fall back in two / perfection left its mark on you / you say I could be wrong / because the pull you feel is strong / you don’t need to take these things from me / when the lips which kissed your eyes / and the tongue that took your size / told you those lies so perfectly / you can suck-start some bleeding heart / with sympathy / it’s the way I’ve known you to / yeah it’s true / in time that perfect rhyme / will turn on you / & fall back in two / perfection never will be true
