Perspective lyrics
Perspective lyrics
I need perspective: 'cos I'm facing the wall
I need perspective: 'cos I'm not that tall
I need perspective: I heard the trumpet call
Don't trust my eyes, I want to know where things fall
I need perspective: party time for the newly wed
I need perspective: colours ran as the images bled
I need perspective: like confetti on the flower bed
Don't trust my eyes, priest crying he's got fire in his head
Oh Gaia, if that's your name
Treat you like dirt, but I don't want to blame
Oh Gaia, the wind heats the fire and blows the ash away
I need perspective: sitting in a long long hall
I need perspective: staring at the white white wall
I need perspective: waiting for the phone to call
Don't trust my eyes, there's one thing I've got to tell you all
I need perspective: to see through red red skies
I need perspective: to carry merchandise
I need perspective: I don't trust my eyes
Don't trust my eyes, and I don't like surprise
Oh Gaia, if that's your name
Treat you like dirt, but I don't want to blame
Oh Gaia, the wind heats the fire and blows the ash away
I used to be industrial giant
Sitting in a garden full of chemical plant
Trying very hard to get you off my mind
Acting like any man
Taking you for everything I can
Just the same, the same as all my kind
So blind!
I need perspective, ....
