The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I asked my friend i.d. If he could recall The last 24 hours and the tv on the floor Shopping with bricks In the name of fun I'd take it back officer But I don't know what I've done I've had it all like raindrops in the ocean Like shadows in the night The devils in my head have gone away It's a perfect day So we turned it on, tuned it in Got ourselves a beer Sat down, began to watch Everythings clear Things degenerated we began to sing Bart simpson says to us "elvis was king" I've had it all been swimming in emotion Been swallowed by the night The devils in my head are here to stay It's a perfect day In a sort of pathetic way I always run away from the things I cannot see But when you see double, which one do you believe? I tried to get some help, I called for my man He popped up on the tv in a baked been can I've had it all, like drowning in devotion Like waiting for the night The devils in my head have gone away It's a perfect day In a sort of pathetic kind of way But f*ck it It's a perfect day In a sort of pathetic kind of way
