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  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, etc
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
