Perfect

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]

On another world by another star at another place and time

In another state of consciousness in another state of mind

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Everything was almost perfect

Everything fell into place

The jury reached a different verdict

Before the judge dismissed the case

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]

In a parallel universe that's happening right now

Things between us must be worse but it's hard to see just how

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

And everything could have been perfect

Everything in the right place

Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect

Accused, abandoned and disgraced

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

I didn't shoot, I didn't pull the trigger

It wasn't me, I'm just a plain and simple singer

I heard the sound, I turned my head around

To watch our love shot down

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]

In another lonely universe, we're laying side by side

Well no one's hurt and no one's cursed and no one needs to hide

[Chorus 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

And everything is almost perfect

Everything is almost right

There are never any conflicts

There are never any fights
