[Verse 1]
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

[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

[Verse 2]
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
[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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
