Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's perfect in her own way
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey
She's perfect in her own way
Shining, stepping off a silver train
[Chorus]
Now, I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
[Verse 2]
She's amazing in her own way
Always moving to a better place
She's amazing in her own way
Laughing, you won't get to the weaker traits
[Chorus]
Now, I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know, time heals nothing by itself
(Tick, tock, turn it off)
(Tick, tock, turn it off)
I see that ever so clearly now
[Bridge]
She looks a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer around her eyes
Just a little bit different now Maybe a little bit softer around her eyes The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy likes it nice and steady
[Chorus] Now, I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth From the medicine that I can't keep down You know, time heals nothing by itself (Tick, tock, turn it off) (Tick, tock, turn it off) I see that ever so clearly now
(The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center) (Take it slow and make it softer) (Easy likes it nice and steady)
