Perfect Candidate Lyrics

First she's going to relocate it
to the southland
stake her claim in Silverlake
what she's showing off
will be on your account
there's little doubt she's
stealing what she confiscates
chalking it all up to fate
that is why she always waits
for the perfect candidate
She's got every reason in the
world to pick one more
as she will demonstrate
how many does that
make it now?
I'm losing count
it's tantamount to
stealing what she confiscates
chalking it all up to fate
and she can not hardly wait
for the perfect candidate
congratulations!
take a bow
what will you do now,
anyhow?
She can read your mind
'cause she wrote it for you
you who'll take surprising bait
like a magic lantern
beaming with projection
my reflection:
slate as blank as
face is straight
makes the perfect candidate
and she can not hardly wait
for her perfect candidate
