Pj Harvey - A Perfect Day, Elise lyrics

He got lucky one time Hitting with the girl in room 509 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 Its a perfect day Elise He got burned by the sun His face so pale and his hands so worn Let himself in room 509 Said a prayer, and cried, 'It's a perfect day Elise'
