Lyrics for The Perfect Life

Oh We close our eyes The perfect life Is all we need You open up when you had me in your hands Slipping far away with the world at your command You sing me to sleep and then you hit me awake It's a perfect life a perfect life I only want to be here when you're by my side Oh I believe now I'll love you 'til I die You will sing me to sleep you will hit me awake In the perfect life the perfect life Oh We close our eyes The perfect life life Is all we need Little Mike he steps everywhere Knives in his pockets and bullets in his hair He has nothing to live for nothing left to say He's locking all the doors to keep the older wolves at bay Spoons and foil are all he needs A bed and some china A lighter and some speed It will sing you to sleep it will hit you awake In the perfect life a perfect life Oh We close our eyes The perfect life life Is all we need Oh It goes all night The perfect life life Is all we need Oh We close our eyes The perfect life life Is all we need Oh We close our mind The perfect life life Is all we need The perfect life the perfect life the perfect life All we need
