Buy here: Moby on ’The Perfect Life’: “Wayne Coyne and I ended up doing a duet on ’The Perfect Life’: we sing the choruses together, and then go back and forth on the verses. Wayne and I first met in 1995, when The Flaming Lips and I were both opening up for a Red Hot Chili Peppers’ European tour. We became friends, shared a dressing room and the same bad craft services, and watched the Chili Peppers from the side of the stage. I thought of Wayne for this song because The Flaming Lips have evolved in this very open, celebratory band when they play live, and that was the perfect vibe for what I was imagining for ’The Perfect Life.’ I texted Wayne and said, ’Hey, I have a song -- want to sing on it?’ Thirty seconds later, he texted me back: ’Yes, send it to me, it will be great.’“ Lyrics: Oh We close our eyes The perfect life is all we need You open up when you had me in your hands Slipping far away with the world at your command You sing me to sleep and then you hit me awake It’s a perfect life, a perfect life I only want to be here when you’re by my side Oh I believe now, I’ll love you ’til I die You will sing me to sleep, you will hit me awake in the perfect life, the perfect life Oh We close our eyes The perfect life, life is all we need Little Mike he, steps everywhere Knives in his pockets and bullets in his hair He has nothing to live for, nothing left to say He’s locking all the doors to keep the older wolves at bay Spoons and foil are all he needs. A bed and some china A lighter and some speed It will sing you to sleep, it will hit you awake In the perfect life, a perfect life. (Guitar solo) Oh We close our eyes The perfect life, life is all we need Oh It goes all night The perfect life, life is all we need Oh We close our eyes The perfect life, life is all we need Oh We close our mind The perfect life, life is all we need The perfect life, the perfect life, the perfect life all we need #theperfectlife #moby #waynecoyne
