Patty Griffin – Perfect White

Perfect White

Heaped from a snowy white mountain

Slipped down a snowy white hill

Came from a water fountain

Water was sweet until

Sunshine on a shiny ocean

Sunshine on a shiny bay

I opened a tiny shutter and

Sunshine blowing me away

And I don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing about

Perfect white girls that wear gold and

I’m very busy

I’m very very busy baby

I’m very very busy becoming invisible

Why would you want

Why would you want to disappear

School is a women

Ask any woman that’s sitting here

And I don’t a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing about

Perfect white girls that wear gold and

If you kiss their asses long enough

They might let you kiss their asses

If you kiss their asses long enough

They might let you kiss their asses

So here I come in a river my hips

Here I come with my big red lips

Hidden now a newfound friend

Cause I’m never going back again

And I don’t a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Don’t know a thing

Know a thing

La la la la la la la…
