He got lucky, got lucky one time
Hitting with the girl in room five none nine
She turned her back on him facing the frame

Said, "Listen Joe don't you come here again"

White sun scattered all over the sea

He could think of nothing but her name Elise
God is the sweat running down his back
The water soaked her blonde hair black


It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise


He got burned by the sun
He's a lucky man

His face so pale and his hands so worn
And the sky
Let himself in room five none nine

As she turned away
Said a prayer, pulled the trigger and cried
Tell me why


It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise


Ah oh, It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise
