Perfect Reputation


Perfect reputation
How’d you ever get to be
Maybe you were chosen
To live your life so perfectly
Never ever let emotion show
Never reaching low

Perfect reputation
Crafted out so perfectly
Could it be that you’re lyin
Not only to yourself but me
Never ever let the engine roll
Now it’s getting cold

Destiny laid out to follow
Safely in the arms of norm
Full appreciation
For symmetrical form
And if only time stood still

Perfect reputation
Never got a public stare
Always with an audience
Even when there’s no one there
Never ever reaping, never sow
Now it’s getting old
Keep it locked away forever
Never ever took a chance
Never on the dance floor
Singing who wants to dance
And if only time stood still

Seems like so much gone just wasted
So much more that’s never tasted
Pity such a narrow point of view

Never ever let the engine roll
Now it’s getting cold
Everything that’s never tasted
Never ever took a chance
Never on the dance floor
Singing who wants to dance
And if only time stood still
But it never will
