Your Perfume Was The Best Thing

[Verse 1]
Did you think I was sleeping
Face pressed up against a window
Body rocking to a southbound rhythm
Just closed my eyes
Faking sleep to listen
Holding the light of the world at bay
Then you kiss me
Though the train was crammed in
To wake me with your lips
As I slipped away
Put your face up close to mine
Whispered

[Chorus]
And your perfume was the best thing
That happened all day

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
I didn't open my eyes
I didn't see the car
I heard the tyres on the blacktop
Waiting for the kids
All the trees in the park
Stood up and started dancing
Naked and excited
[?]
And all the billboards on the bus
They shouted
Better start running
Salvation is coming
I just went limp
And when the impact never came
Everything went quiet
All the trees stopped their dancing
And I started to grin
And then you kissed me
Although the drivers were watching
Held me with your lips
Like I was slipping away
Put your face up close to mine
And whisper...

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
And your perfume was the best thing
That happened all day
And your perfume was the best thing
That happened all day

[Outro]
Holding the light of the world at bay
Holding the light of the world at bay
