PETER GABRIEL - Growing Up lyrics

rate me

Folded in your fleshy purse<br>I am floating once again<br>While the muted sounds are pumping rhythm<br>All the walls close in on me<br>Pressure's building wave on wave<br>‘til the water breaks – and outside I go, oh<br><br>One dot, that's on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dot<br>Two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dot<br><br>Growing up, growing up,<br>Looking for a place to live<br>Growing up, growing up<br>Looking for a place to live<br>Growing up, growing up,<br>Looking for a place to live<br><br>My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown<br>My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space<br><br>Three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe,<br>Three dot<br>Four dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, it's all there,<br>Four dot<br><br>My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown<br>My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space<br><br>All the slow clouds pass us by<br>Make the empire state look high<br>As you take me in your sea-stained sweetness<br>It spills, it tingles and it stings<br>All the pleasure that it brings<br>‘til the door has let the outside inside here<br><br>Well on the floor there's a long wooden table<br>On the table there's an open book<br>On the page there's a detailed drawing<br>And on the drawing is the name I took<br><br>My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown<br>My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space<br><br>Growing up, growing up,<br>Looking for a place to live<br>Growing up, growing up<br>Looking for a place to live<br>Growing up, growing up,<br>Looking for a place to live<br>Growing up, growing up,<br>Looking for a place to live<br><br>My ghost likes to travel<br>My ghost likes to travel<br>Moving inside of your space<br>My ghost likes to travel<br>My ghost likes to travel<br>Moving inside of your space<br>My ghost likes to travel<br>Moving inside<br>My ghost likes to travel<br>Moving inside of your space<br>My ghost likes to travel<br>Moving inside<br>My ghost likes to travel<br>Moving inside of your space<br><br>The breathing stops, I don't know when<br>In transition once again<br>Such a struggle getting through these changes<br>And it all seems so absurd<br>To be flying like a bird<br>When I do not feel I've really landed here
