Perspective |
| I need perspective, 'cos I’m facing the wall. |
| I need perspective, 'cos I’m not that tall. |
| I need perspective, heard the trumpet call. |
| Don’t trust my eyes, want to know where things fall. |
| I need perspective, party time for the newly wed. |
| I need perspective, colors 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 heals 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. |
| 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 all I can, |
| Just the same, the same as all my kind, so blind. |
| I need perspective. |
