WATERDEEP - HIS PERFECTION lyrics

rate me

Paul kicks up trash on a dirty street.

A few pages dance away in the wind.

They cause a deep breath and a lusty sigh

when he compares them to his Rosalind.

Early on Roz was a sight to behold,

and she always made him feel like a man,

But Paul thinks time's been cruel to her form

the way the ocean wears away at the sand.

CHORUS

His perfection is a neon light.

It stains his flashing eye.

And the after-image in his head at night

is nothing but a lie.

He wants his world to be a perfect one,

says she no longer fills his needs.

so he crams her into iron clothes,

and gives her steel bread dough to knead.

CHORUS

His perfection is a neon light.

It stains his flashing eye.

And the after-image in his bed at night

is nothing but a lie.
