Perfect Kiss

New Order

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"

I know, you know, you believe in a land of love

I know, you know, we believe in a land of love



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"

I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

I know, you know, we believe in a land of love



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
