lyrics
I saw a sign again, out in the yard,
Another haunting, cat-faced portrait of god,
“Kill or be killed” it said, and then I knew,
That my day was already ruined
CHORUS:
Hey, what a perfect day for a target on my back,
Hey what a perfect day for a black cat,
I swear everything is fine,
Hey, what a perfect day to be burned alive
I know I know you’re right, I’m acting out,
Sarcastic exploration of all this doubt,
A little tune to sing when something breaks,
Better than going to my wake
CHORUS:
Hey, what a perfect day for a target on my back,
Hey what a perfect day for a black cat,
I swear everything is fine,
Hey, what a perfect day to be burned alive
Now, everything I fear just gets me off,
Now, everything I hate turns into songs,
CHORUS:
Hey, what a perfect day for a target on my back,
Hey what a perfect day for a black cat,
I swear everything is fine,
Hey, what a perfect day to be burned alive
I’m not the ash for you to toss,
I’m not a corpse trapped in a box,
I’m not a ghost, no haunted house,
I’m just a spark repeating
