Woke up early one morning, looked over at the time
The phone was ringin', said it better be a good one this time
Said hello when I picked up the phone, no sound reached my mind
I thought great, I got woke up, and there was no one on the line

A perfect time
Where everything's gone wrong but it turns out right
And everything's so messed up but it's a sweeter life
It feels so nice, it feels so nice
Well it's just something like that

I was walking to the store to spend a hard-earned dime
I had to find something to get my mind off the lack
of sleep I had last night
Over by the sewer grate, I just happened to trip
The dime fell from my hands and through the bars of the grate it slipped

A perfect time
Where everything's gone wrong but it turns out right
And everything's so messed up but it's a sweeter life
It feels so nice, it feels so nice
Well it's just something like that
