Polly Jean Harvey - A Perfect Day Elise lyrics

He got lucky, got lucky one time Hittin' with the girl in room five O nine 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 nothin' but her name Elise And God, is the sweat runnin' down his back The water soaked her blond 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 five O nine 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
