Peter Gabriel - Perspective Lyrics
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, 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.
[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.
I need perspective, sitting in a long, long hall.
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.
[Chorus]
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.

Peter Gabriel Perspective Comments
A great song by Peter! Love it!
One person has no perspective.
Horrible tema... El teclado es ridiculo.... solo lo aporrean sin gusto alguno... como en el primer tema. Decepcionante...
Igual es un genio
i used to listen to this song when i was a kid, my brother helped me to, he was 10. How incredible to believe that today a 10 years old kid would listen to this !!
Thanks for uploading this song. It really means a lot to me.
