This Perfect Kiss Some of us drive that highway Always looking for some kind of sign An exit to a better beginning On a road map of some holy design Maybe it was too early Or is it just something we all fear Sometimes the future comes up In the rear view mirror So much closer than it seems to appear And if you had to leave this world behind Could another moment have been so fine And if you could have made one last wish Would we all have felt a bit of this This perfect kiss This perfect kiss Some soldiers want to die in battle Some actors from a poison cup On a stage with a lone tear tracing a line Down some young understudy’s makeup Some travelers search only for beauty In every temple and roadside stand And they’d trade away everything they had and more For one instant to truly understand Chorus x 2
