Peter Gabriel - Perspective Lyrics
I need perspective cos Im facing the wallI need perspective cos Im not that tallI need perspective heard the trumpet callDont trust my eyes want to know where things fallI need perspective party time for the newly wedI need perspective colours ran as the images bledI need perspective like confetti on the flower bedDont trust my eyes priest crying hes got fire in his headOh gaia, if thats your nameTreat you like dirt, but I dont want to blameOh gaia, the wind heats the fire and blows the ash awayI need perspective sitting in a long long hallI need perspective staring at the white white wallI need perspective waiting for the phone to callDont trust my eyes theres one thing Ive got to tell you allI need perspective to see through red red skiesI need perspective to carry merchandiseI need perspective I dont trust my eyesDont trust my eyes and I dont like surpriseOh gaia, etcI used to be industrial giantSitting in a garden full of chemical plantTrying very hard to get you off my mindActing like any manTaking you for everything I canJust the same, the same as all my kind-- so blindI need perspective
