Here's a cover we did of Perfect Day a few years ago. 
Such a great song. Thanks Lou.

PERFECT DAY

11 Seymour Halston Stein

“The Benzo Blues” 

I got the benzo blues mama again
I got to lose them mama 
But I just don’t know when

I got the benzo blues mama again 
I can’t use them mama
But you know I can’t win

If God is in heaven
I hope I’m let in
My head is ah poundin
And it feels like the end

My ships filled with water 
And I’m drowning in tears
I can’t hear no laughter
And I’m haunted by fears

I’ve hit the rocks
In and out of detox
Can’t see out the windows
And all the doors they are locked

I’m pacing the floor
I can hardly speak
I’m soul sick and sore
And my will is so weak

I got a body of lead
Being whacked by waves
I got a spike through my head
And I’m being told Jesus Saves

Yesterday’s gone
Tomorrow might not come
I wish it was over
But it’s hardly begun

The sun is ah risin
But I’m still wide awake
It isn’t surprising 
I’m in the fiery lake

My body is poisoned
And so is my brain
My skin is ah burning 
And I’m goin insane 

I sleep all day mama
In and out of a fog
I moan all night mama
Just like a dog 

Can’t walk the street
Can’t get out of bed
I can’t even eat
I think I’d be better off dead 

My limbs are shakin
And I can’t see the sun
My whole heart is breakin
Looks like the devil has won

There’s no place to hide
I ain’t takin no calls
There’s suicide
But I ain’t got the balls 

I got the benzo blues mama again
I got to lose them mama
But only G-d knows when
