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, 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, 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. 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.
