the perfect parts

well this city's put me through the wash

mhmmm

i've been living here for you

well i used to take my women on the rocks

yeah

they used to wear out my ballroom shoes

well you know that i had one too many drinks

oh i found hope on your machine

well you didn't answer my request

you left my whole world on your string

well that's your thing

well i see the words left on the screen

yeah

you know they're bursting just for me

well you know that i've known you since we were three

oh

we fell in love at seventeen

well so i say

what did i learn

what did i learn?

i said

oh you learned me the heart

well your lies will burn in alcohol

to sterilize the perfect parts

well at least that's a start
