INDIGO GIRLS - Perfect World lyrics

rate me

We get to be a ripple in the water

We get to be a rock that's thrown

We get to be a boy on the bridge

Standing over the reservoir

I see the water lap along the shoreline

The buried forest of a man-made lake

Cemeteries are laying underneath it

Your heart like a damm when it breaks.

We are floating, we are swimming

And in this moment we are forgetting

What we costs, what it takes

For one perfect world when we look the other way

I'm okay if I don't look a little closer

I am driving with the tank full

I'm okay I if don't see beyond the shore

The sun is blistering the black top road

I'm okay I don't have to do the killing

We are talking cellular and mobile

Or know what the killing is for

As if it's come kind of cure for this world of woe

We are talking, we are driving

And in this moment we are denying

What it costs, what it takes

For one perfect world when we look the other way

It's one perfect world

when we look the other way

It's one perfect world

If you can't see beyond the myth of isolation

And the miracle of daybreak doesn't move you anymore

Connect the points and see the constellations

As the night comes down on the reservoir

We are swimming, we are floating

And in this moment we are beholden

To what it costs, to what it takes

For one perfect world

Can we learn to live another way?

It's one perfect world

Can we learn to live another way?

It's one perfect world
