Perfect Timing Lyrics

Is this just a passing fancy, or another passing game?
Is this just a little something, that fallen angels play?
I've had a million fantasies, but that was make believe
Baby, open up this door before I freeze

Girl stop complaining
You're afraid of the dark
We'll go the distance
I don't think it's so far

I think it's perfect, perfect, perfect timing
I think it's perfect, perfect timing

Well I tried to send a message
Yes I tried the telephone
But I guess that I ain't lucky
And my card say no one's home

If the cards are on the table
That's a calculated risk
That's if accidental angels
Do exist

Just for a moment, if you think the moment's right
Let's not lose that moment tonight

Perfect, perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect timing

I'm thinkin' this is the right time
I'm hoping you feel the same
'Cause that light at the end of the tunnel
Is the front of an oncoming train

Go out fight
Fighting

Perfect, perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect timing

Perfect, perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect timing
Perfect, perfect timing

David Lee Roth (born October 10, 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana) is an American singer-songwriter, rock climber, adventurer, actor, author, and former radio personality, being best known for his work with the hard rock band Van Halen and for his fast-talking, larger-than-life persona. Though earning critical and commercial success, Roth left Van Halen due to creative differences in 1985, being replaced by Sammy Hagar (of Montrose and HSAS), and Roth went solo. After a short time spent performing tongue-in-cheek jazz music, Roth recruited a rock supergroup of Steve Vai (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass), and Gregg Bissonette (drums). The guys released the wildly successful 'Eat 'em and Smile' album on July 7, 1986.

Roth's follow-up work, called 'Skyscraper', came out on January 26, 1988, dividing his fans due to its synthesizer-heavy, pop-fueled style yet having an iconic hit in the upbeat tune "Just Like Paradise". After his solo group's line-up shifted, guitar prodigy Jason Becker (formerly of Cacophony) came into the fold in 1989. Sadly, Becker contracted Lou Gehrig's Disease, and before too long he could no longer play, having only performed on one album (1991's 'A Little Ain't Enough').

Since then, Roth has employed a revolving line-up of musicians in his band. As the 90s went on, the shuffling of performers around him and changing musical tides, styles such as alternative rock becoming far more popular, found Roth's mainstream commercial fortunes diminishing. Still, he kept on touring to his own wild fan-base, and rumors of a reunion between him and his old Van Halen buddies bubbled up again and again.

In 2007, David Lee Roth rejoined Van Halen for a semi-reunion with the Van Halen brothers, along with Eddie Van Halen's son (Wolfgang Van Halen) on bass (replacing Michael Anthony from the original lineup), which lasted into 2008. On December 26, 2011, Van Halen (again with Roth) announced a tour for 2012. In what felt like no time, the rejuvenated outfit released their first album in fourteen years, titled 'A Different Kind of Truth', on February 7, 2012. Read more on Last.fm.
