She said, "Good day, Boy
Are you ready to shake?"
I said, "I love noise, & this life that it makes"
[Chorus]
See, I have a line, though it's subject to change
I once had a thought, but then I gave it away
Yeah, sooner or later, I'll be perfect to stay
-(Oh, oh, oh, oh)- I'll be perfect to stay (x2)
She said, "Good night, Boy
Are you feeling alone?"
I said, "I love time, but never ever this long"
[Chorus]
Like the Sun surely loves it's newborn days
Yeah, like all oceans love their waves...
I'm perfect to stay
[Chorus] ...-(Oh, oh, oh)- I'll be perfect to stay
Are you ready to shake?"
I said, "I love noise, & this life that it makes"
[Chorus]
See, I have a line, though it's subject to change
I once had a thought, but then I gave it away
Yeah, sooner or later, I'll be perfect to stay
-(Oh, oh, oh, oh)- I'll be perfect to stay (x2)

Like the Sun surely loves it's newborn days
Yeah, like all oceans love their waves...

[Chorus] ...-(Oh, oh, oh)- I'll be perfect to stay
