Talking Heads

Perfect World

Well, I know what it is

But I don't know where it is, where it is

Well, I know where it is

But I don't know what it looks like, what it looks like

Well, I know what it looks like

But I don't know where she comes from

Well, I know where she comes from

But I don't know what's her name

And she said

This is a perfect world

Riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

And I've been walking, talking

Believing the things that are true

And I've been finding the difference

Between right and wrong, bad and good

See me put things together

Put them back where they belong

Am I just like the others?

Have I always been singing the same song

She said

This is a perfect world

Riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

Somebody said that it happens all over the world

I do believe that it's true and the sun's coming up

And we're doing all the things that we should

Doesn't everybody here believe in the things we do?

And she said

This is a perfect world

Riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

It's a strange situation, what's wrong with you?

Baby, baby, baby

What you doing in my house?

And it's all true there's nothing wrong with you

And I said

This is a perfect world

Riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine
