Silent Tree Music - Song lyrics 

( Perfection obsession personified )
PICTURE PERFECT
Copyright © 2000 - MickTerry.com

Your life is structured on perfection personified.
Every rose is perfectly shaped.
Every blade of grass is cut the same length.
Every little spoon must be perfectly placed ... for you.
Your life gets ruptured & you're totally horrified:
any change in your status quo,
any little sock that's where it shouldn't go,
picture on the wall that has tilted too low ... for you.

    You're just PICTURE PERFECT,
    with a capital "P".
    You're just PICTURE PERFECT.
    How perfect can you be?

Your life is structured so that everything fits your mold.
Both of your kids are always behaved.
To keep the perfect house, you've got the perfect maid.
Every little thing's got to be your perfect way ... for you.
Your life gets ruptured & you totally lose control
any time they're crumbs on the floor,
someone gets cut, somebody slams the door.
People quickly learn that they'd better do more ... for you.

    CHORUS

        There's something deeply lacking
        in this perfect promenade,
        revealed in all the tiny cracks from strain
        of keeping all together
        this delicate facade.
        Somewhere, sometime, something's going to break.

Your life is structured on believing it's all just fine.
Everything is as it should be.
Nothing's going to change or ever break free.
Every little thing is as perfect should be ... for you.
Your life will rupture when life hits you too hard one time.
Perfect husband's run off with a man.
Perfect unwed daughter's making you a grand ...
Perfect little shit's hit the perfect little fan ... for you.

    CHORUS
