Perspective Peter Gabriel

[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
