IF - Michael Monroe

If i were perfect i’d be done

If i were human we’d be one

If i were happy i’d have fun

If i’m just whining is this art?

If i don’t stop i won’t have to start

If it’s all a movie i’m just playing my part

How long can i keep this body?

Can i trade it in when i’m done?

For another one just like the other one

I want to give it another run

If i weren’t frozen i’d be alive

If i start walking i’ll arrive

If i get tired i might ride

If i don’t die i will survive

If i survive i might just thrive

If i can thrive then i can fly

How long can i keep this body?

Can i trade it in in the end?

For something completely different

I want to begin again

If there’s no pain is there still gain?

If i’m not crazy am i sane?

If everything goes down the drain

If it’s not hell then is this heaven?

If i’m not there well where am i then?

If i can bring my dog i’ll be happy

How long have i had this body?

Can i trade it in when i’m done?

For a spirit or a drop in the ocean

On a planet 'round a purple sun

If i were perfect i’d be done
