Perfect
Album Version Sessionography
Album Version Guests
Notes: Before Goldfly was recorded, and presumably before Phil Roy helped revamp the lyrics, this song was called "Needle" and there was another song called "Perfect". The double-speed version of the song was played live during 1999. Not only are there major cuts to the lyrics, but they play it fast. |

Played follow the leader And all those steps behind Certain of the damages I've done the steps behind It's not me It's not mine No way It's his mistake It's not my problem Pinned down with the terror And on my knees and die Certain of the damages I've done the steps behind Few have tried To dream a while A twinge of pain The sting of a needle Like staring at The sun and eyes Burn permanent The scar and the needle So warm at the bottom And on my knees and try Can't be what you don't understand The pain of loss behind It's not me It's not mine No way It's his mistake It's not my problem I said It wasn't but Went try around and that was the last time He said I wait until His time allowed No, that was the last time A few will try To purge the eye A twinge of pain The sting of a needle Like staring at The sun and eyes Burn permanent The scar and the needle I wish I could Go back to fight And quell the truth Start on the inside Cause all the world Is staring back A smile of pain A smile for the last time |
Played follow the leader Keeping my steps in time Counting on the wonder ahead I leave the pain behind It's on me It's all mine Go away They're my mistakes They're not your problem Pinned down in this heaven I'll die 1,000 times Aware of the damage ahead I'll leave the pain behind Another day A perfect day A twinge of pain The sting of a needle When staring at The walls provide A brilliant sight Through eyes of a needle So warm at the bottom Warm never felt so kind And for a moment or two I leave it all behind It's on me It's all mine Go away They're my mistakes They're not your problem Black dog White picket fences Mow them down and dance on the riptide Face down in consequences Crack me up And stay on your own side Another day A perfect day A twinge of pain The sting of a needle When staring at The walls provide A brilliant sight Through eyes of a needle I wish I may I wish I might I pray my soul To keep tonight Cause all the walls Stop staring back A perfect day A sting for the last time |
It's on me It's all mine Go away They're my mistakes They're not your problem Another day A perfect day A twinge of pain The sting of a needle When staring at The walls provide A brilliant sight Through eyes of a needle I wish I may I wish I might I pray my soul To keep tonight Cause all the walls Stop staring back A perfect day A sting for the last time |
