"Perfect World" lyrics

Ignore the call, the roulette ball was out of grace
I outta go, never could stay in one place
And here I stand, with both feet in the borderland
I lost it all, except the cash in hand

My lucky number
Dealer gave me quite the side-eye, bloated belly of a knife
The devil's tea will always be too strong
Bid on the secret
Never found a life to leave it, there is always love to keep
Thought I could do, thought I could do no wrong

All my brothers had me sold
Stories begging to be told
When I set fire to the old frontier
I saw a perfect world, a perfect world appear

A year of space
At snail's pace, I learned to crawl
They salted me, but I was saved by rainfall
No sound this ride, except the radio on light
Shook like an extra on opening night

My lucky number
Dealer gave me quite the side-eye, bloated belly of a knife
The devil's tea will always be too strong
Bid on the secret
Never found a life to leave it, there is always love to keep
Thought I could do, thought I could do no wrong

The lie they told, I bought it
My lucky number
The part I never wanted
Dealer gave me quite the side-eye, bloated belly of a knife
I got it, I got it
The devil's tea will always be too strong
My I's were never dotted
Bid on the secret
Can't finish what I started
Never found a life to leave it, there is always love to keep
My dearly, departed
Thought I could do, thought I could do no wrong

All my brothers had me sold
Stories begging to be told
When I set fire to the old frontier
I saw a perfect world, a perfect world appear
