He got lucky, got lucky one time   Hittin' with the girl in room five O 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 nothin' but her name Elise   And God, is the sweat runnin' down his back   The water soaked her blond 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 O 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
