Peter Gabriel — Perspective

[Verse 1] I need perspective Because I'm facing the wall I need perspective Because I'm not that tall I need perspective I heard the trumpet call Don't trust my eyes I wanna 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 [Chorus] Oh Gaia, if that's your name Treat you like dirt, but I don't want to blame Oh Gaia, the wind heals the fire and blows the ash away [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Oh Gaia, if that's your name Treat you like dirt, but I don't want no blame Oh Gaia, the wind heals the fire and blows the ash away [Bridge] I used to be an industrial giant Sitting in a garden full of chemical plants 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 [Outro] I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective I need perspective
