Perfect

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
On another world by another star at another place and time
In another state of consciousness in another state of mind

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Everything was almost perfect
Everything fell into place
The jury reached a different verdict
Before the judge dismissed the case

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
In a parallel universe that's happening right now
Things between us must be worse but it's hard to see just how

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I didn't shoot, I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me, I'm just a plain and simple singer
I heard the sound, I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
In another lonely universe, we're laying side by side
Well no one's hurt and no one's cursed and no one needs to hide

[Chorus 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights
