I wrote a song today
Not all the words are true
I thought you'd be the kind of girl who'd like a song written for you
Turns out it wasn't so
You said its not enough
I guess I'll start it from the start it wouldn't hurt to much

To let the air out of a balloon
And land us safely on the moon
Take pictures of of planets seen
From a weightless photographic scene

[Chorus]
It's a perfect world and a perfect life
'Cause I don't need another friend tonight
In a perfect world but it don't make sense and I can't help it any longer

So then you called me out on things I should have done
I led myself through all these mazes just to get me some
You know I'm just a man with needs this is a typical disease
I thought you had all the experience beneath you was too much

To let the air out a balloon
And land us safely on the moon take pictures of our planet seen from weightless photographic scenes

[Chorus]

I gave you your fair warning (x2)
You knew that this was coming all along all along all along

I've had an appetite for this since I was born since me first kiss

I wrote a song today all of the words are true
I wrote it just to please myself I couldn't care less about you
Turns out I'm just a slob who cares too much about his emotions
Your all leaving me your all leaving me

[Chorus]

I gave you your fair warning (x2)
You knew that this was coming all along all along all along
Ooooh

    The album version also has another verse at the end. Don't know if these are 100% correct, but it goes like this:

    Greener pastures in the future Greener pastures just for me I'll find a girl and then another I'll find them all for me

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
