Perfect Water Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

Perfect water, the dark wind braids the waves 

The crazed birds raid the trees, is this our destiny? 

To join our hands at sea and slowly sink and slowly think 

This is perfect water passing over me 

Do you know Jacques Cousteau 

When he said on the radio 

That he hears bells in random order 

Deep beneath the perfect water? 

Love, that is frightening 

But still so inviting to drown, drown inside a sound 

That lay so far underground and to think, and to think 

This is perfect water passing over me 

To flow inside the spiral tide, to drown my eyes like a blind ride 

And to cross the perils of black water 

It waits for me like mother and daughter 

A life of perfect order, a strange and perfect water 

A life of perfect order, a strange and perfect water 

Perfect water, I dream this dream within the deep and warm gulf stream 

Where two blocks of ice melt into my hands like dice 

And I roll seven on the floor of the sea 

And I roll seven on the floor of the sea 

And I feel the perfect water washing over me 

To flow inside the spiral tide, to drown my eyes like a blind ride 

And to cross the perils of black water 

It waits for me like mother and daughter 

A life of perfect order, a strange and perfect water 

A life of perfect order, a strange and perfect water 

A life, a strange 

A life, a strange
