Lyrics

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
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
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 heals the fire and blows the ash away
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
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
