Lyrics

The Imperfectionist

Quarter mark of the century Hours turn into weeks Congratulating the clever me so discreet Professional imperfectionist Makes demands like a child Have you been under the table long with a smile? It's been a while Short shot through security Let the panic commence I couldn't tell you the hemisphere, no offense All my kingdom to disappear Tie my ship to the shore Don't mention my name out loud anymore To the world
