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 perspectiveOnly One
chorus:
you are my only one
you are my only one
well i'm telling you now you're my only one
i've got two long legs like to carry me
two sharp eyes to look for the fight
two strong arms to hold on tight
two good friends on my left and right
but only one only one
chorus:
you are my only one you are my only one
don't be leaving me now you're my only one
there's only one road before me
too many turns in the way
thousands of things to do today
millions of moments i must admit
but only one only one
chorus
taken for granted and pushed aside
all that I wanted was a place to run and hide
missing message in a hollow tree
hidden deep inside a memory
and the memory seems like dreams
hundreds of hopes in the past
nevertheless it was never the last
hold on strong or you fade out fast
and only one only one
chorus
