Perfect Candidate Lyrics - Michael Penn

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
