PJ HARVEY - A PERFECT DAY ELISE

He got lucky, got lucky one time 
Hitting with the girl in room 509 
She turned her back on him facing the frame 
Said, "Listen Joe don't you come here again"

White sun scattered all over the sea 
He could think of nothing but her name Elise 
God is the sweat running down his back 
The water soaked her blonde hair black

It's a perfect day 
A perfect day, Elise

He got burned by the sun 
(He's a lucky man) 
His face so pale and his hands so worn 
(And the sky) 
Let himself in room 509 
(As she turned away) 
Said a prayer, pulled the trigger and cried 
(Tell me why)

It's a perfect day 
A perfect day, Elise

Ah oh
It's a perfect day 
A perfect day, Elise
