“The Perfect Kiss” was released in 1985 with a catalogue number of FAC 123. While it runs 8'46" in its full-length version, the song is most widely available in one of a few edits.

[Verse 1]
I stood there beside myself
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun
I said, "Let's go out and have some fun"
[Chorus]
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
[Verse 2]
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun
I said, "Let's go out and have some fun"
[Chorus]
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
[Verse 3]
When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death
[Instrumental Outro]
