| Baby, I've been feeling a bit on edge
|
| Lately, I've been careless at making bets
|
| Living in a world where it's always Monday
|
| One AM and dark, and it's always pouring
|
| Where you can feel the weight of a new day rising
|
| By the neon furies of advertising
|
| But baby, we're not here to stay
|
| So hey, hey, hey, hush, don't be crying now, hear
|
| Cos any day fortune may wander down, dear
|
| And we can see a world that is milk and honey
|
| The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey
|
| There's always a promise of a silver lining
|
| There's that elation of perfect timing
|
| In a perfect world
|
| Baby, I can see through their idle threats
|
| So easy I can walk through their bayonets
|
| But even still I can stumble and fall
|
| And every step I miss, it still takes its toll
|
| Even if I wise up there's always a price
|
| Serenity betrays and troubles arise
|
| But baby, they're not here to stay
|
| So hey, hey, hey, hush, don't be crying now, hear
|
| Cos any day fortune may wander down, dear
|
| And we can see a world that is milk and honey
|
| The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey
|
| There's always a promise of a silver lining
|
| There's that elation of perfect timing
|
| In a perfect world we'd know just why
|
| In a perfect world we would never lie
|
| In a perfect world there'd be no reason to cry
|
| In a perfect world, in a perfect world
|
| In a perfect world we'd never die
|
| So hey, hey, hey, hush, don't be crying now, hear
|
| Cos any day fortune may wander down, dear
|
| And we can see a world that is milk and honey
|
| The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey
|
| There's always a promise of a silver lining
|
| There's that elation of perfect timing
|
| In a perfect world |
