Peter Gabriel - Perspective lyrics

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