Michael Penn Lyrics
"Perfect Candidate"

First she's going to relocate it

to the southland

stake her claim in Silverlake

what she's showing off

will be on your account

there's little doubt she's

stealing what she confiscates

chalking it all up to fate

that is why she always waits

for the perfect candidate

She's got every reason in the

world to pick one more

as she will demonstrate

how many does that

make it now?

I'm losing count

it's tantamount to

stealing what she confiscates

chalking it all up to fate

and she can not hardly wait

for the perfect candidate

congratulations!

take a bow

what will you do now,

anyhow?

She can read your mind

'cause she wrote it for you

you who'll take surprising bait

like a magic lantern

beaming with projection

my reflection:

slate as blank as

face is straight

makes the perfect candidate

and she can not hardly wait

for her perfect candidate
