"Perfect Girl (Monastery Sessions)" lyrics

She's a perfect girl
She's a perfect girl

And no, nobody ever
Ever could tell her
What it's like to fall in love
She's tired of searching
She wants to be perfect
Nothing's ever good enough
And I watch I wait
Catch her eye and look away
Nobody ever, ever could tell her
But I tried

Now she keeps me hanging on the line
Waiting for a sign
Begging for the sex I need
She's a perfect girl
Hanging by phone
Praying all alone
Waiting for the stone to bleed
She's a perfect girl
She's a perfect girl

And she wanted to want me
Wanted to need me
Wanted all those distant stars
Wanted a surgeon, the big operation
But she couldn't bear the scars
And she cut me well
But she wouldn't be cut herself
And nobody told me I could be lonely but I fell

Now she keeps me hanging on the line
Waiting for a sign, begging for the sex I need
She's a perfect girl
Hanging by phone
Praying all alone
Waiting for the stone to bleed
She's a perfect girl
She's a perfect girl

Yeah, well I'm not perfect, what's a girl to do?
In a perfect world I'd be perfect, too
And the longer that she makes me wait
The more my heart begins to break
But it's worth it when she comes
In the morning she'll be gone
And I'll be hanging on the line
Waiting for a sign
Begging for the sex I need
She's a perfect girl
Hanging by phone
Praying all alone
Waiting for the stone to bleed
She's a perfect girl
She's a perfect girl
