David Lee Roth (born October 10 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana) is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, rock climber, adventurer, actor, author, and former radio personality, perhaps best known for his work with the band Van Halen and his fast-talking, oversized personality. He left Van Halen at the pinnacle of his tenure with them in 1985 (being replaced by Montrose's Sammy Hagar) and formed a solo band. After some time spent performing lounge jazz to small audiences, Roth recruited a wondergroup of Steve Vai (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Greg Bisonette (drums), and released the wildly successful 'Eat 'em and Smile' album in 1986. For a while, Roth's success equaled that of his own band; but while Van Halen became huge with Hagar behind the mic, DLR's star faded over time. After the impressive dream-team line-up of the David Lee Roth band imploded due to ego, guitar prodigy Jason Becker (formerly of Cacophony) was bought into the fold in 1989.

Perfect Timing Lyrics

David Lee Roth

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 timing
Well I tried to send a message
Yes I tried the telefhone
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
Justo for a moment
If you think the moment's right
Let's not lose that moment tonight
Cuz we've got perfect timing
I'm thinkin'
This is the right time,
I'm hoping you feel the same
Cuz that light at the end of the tunnel
Is the front of an oncoming train
