Lyrics

The Perfect Kiss

I stood there beside myself Thinking hard about the weather They came by a friend of mine Suggested we go out together Then I knew it from the start This friend of mine would fall apart Pretending not to see his guilt I said "Let's go out and have some fun" I know you know We believe in a land of love I know you know We believe in a land of love I have always thought about Staying in and going out Tonight I should have stayed at home Playing with my pleasure zone He has always been so strange I'd often thought he was deranged Pretending not to see his gun I said "Let's go out and have some fun" I know, you know We believe in a land of love I know, you know We believe in a land of love
