Lyrics
He got lucky, got lucky one time
He experienced good fortune, a stroke of luck on one occasion.
Hitting with the girl in room 509
Engaging in a romantic encounter with a girl in room 509.
She turned her back on him, facing the frame
The girl turned away from him, focusing on a picture or scene.
Said, "Listen Joe, don't you come here again"
She warned him not to return, addressing him as Joe.
White sun scattered all over the sea
The bright sun reflecting on the sea, creating a white scattered pattern.
He could think of nothing but her name, Elise
His thoughts consumed by her name, Elise.
God is the sweat running down his back
Describing an intense emotional experience, possibly related to a physical activity.
The water soaked her blonde hair black
Water drenched her originally blonde hair, turning it black.
It's a perfect day
Expressing that the current moment is flawless or idyllic.
A perfect day, Elise
Reiterating the perfection of the day and associating it with Elise.
He got burned by the sun (he's a lucky man)
He suffered sunburn but considers himself fortunate.
His face so pale and his hands so worn (and the sky)
Describing physical characteristics affected by exposure to the sun.
Let himself in room 509 (as she turned away)
Entering room 509 on his own.
Said a prayer, pulled the trigger and cried (tell me why)
Praying, taking drastic action (possibly suicide), and expressing emotional pain.
It's a perfect day
Reiterating the perfection of the day, linking it to Elise.
A perfect day, Elise
[Blank line]
It's a perfect day
[Repeated emphasis on the perfection of the day and its connection to Elise.]
A perfect day, Elise
