Perspective
(I need perspective)
'Cause I'm facing the wall
(I need perspective)
'Cause I'm not that tall
(I need perspective)
I heard the trumpet call
(Don't trust my eyes)
I want to 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 heats 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 heats the fire
And blows the ash away
I used to be industrial giant
Sitting in a garden full of chemical plant
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
I need perspective, oh, oh, oh
'Cause I'm facing the wall
(I need perspective)
'Cause I'm not that tall
(I need perspective)
I heard the trumpet call
(Don't trust my eyes)
I want to 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 heats 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 heats the fire
And blows the ash away
I used to be industrial giant
Sitting in a garden full of chemical plant
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
I need perspective, oh, oh, oh
