-Peter Gabriel looking for a place to live
Growing Up, by Peter Gabriel (“UP” album)
folded in your fleshy purse / i am floating once again / while the muted sounds are pumping rhythm / all the walls close in on me / pressure’s building wave on wave / ’til the water breaks – and outside i go, oh
one dot, that’s on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dot / two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dot
growing up, growing up, / looking for a place to live…
my ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown / my ghost likes to travel so deep into your space…
three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe, / three dot / four dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, it’s all there, / four dot
my ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown / my ghost likes to travel so deep into your space…
all the slow clouds pass us by / make the Empire State look high / as you take me in your sea-stained sweetness / it spills, it tingles and it stings / all the pleasure that it brings / ’til the door has let the outside inside here
well on the floor there’s a long wooden table / on the table there’s an open book / on the page there’s a detailed drawing / and on the drawing is the name i took
my ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown / my ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
growing up, growing up, / looking for a place to live…
my ghost likes to travel / my ghost likes to travel / moving inside of your space…
the breathing stops, i don’t know when / in transition once again / such a struggle getting through these changes / and it all seems so absurd / to be flying like a bird / when i do not feel I’ve really landed here
