P. J. Harvey - A Perfect Day, Elise lyrics

rate me

He got lucky, got lucky one time<br />

Hitting with the girl in room five-o-nine<br />

She turned her back on him facing the frame<br />

Said, "Listen Joe, don't you come here again"<br />

<br />

White sun scattered all over the sea<br />

He could think of nothing but her name Elise<br />

God is the sweat running down his back<br />

The water soaked her blonde hair black<br />

<br />

It's a perfect day<br />

A perfect day, Elise<br />

<br />

He got burned by the sun<br />

(He's a lucky man)<br />

His face so pale and his hands so worn<br />

(And the sky)<br />

Let himself in room five-o-nine<br />

(As she turned away)<br />

Said a prayer, pulled the trigger and cried<br />

(Tell me why)<br />

<br />

It's a perfect day<br />

A perfect day, Elise<br />

<br />

Ah oh, it's a perfect day<br />

A perfect day, Elise
