Growing Up

Peter Gabriel

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

till 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

growing up, growing up,

looking for a place to live

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 thre'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

growing up, growing up,

looking for a place to live

growing up, growing up,

looking for a place to live

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

my ghost likes to travel

my ghost likes to travel

moving inside of your space

my ghost likes to travel

moving inside

my ghost likes to travel

moving inside of your space

my ghost likes to travel

moving inside

my ghost likes to
