This is the Picture (Excellent Birds) - Peter Gabriel

Flying birds

Excellent birds

Watch them fly, there they go Falling snow

Excellent snow

Here it comes.

watch it fall

Long words

Excellent words

I can hear them now

This is the picture, this is the picture

This is the picture, this is the picture

I’m sitting by the window

Watching the snow fall

I’m looking out

And I’m moving, turning in time

Catching up.

moving in Jump up!

I can land on my feet.

look out!

This is the picture, this is the picture

This is the picture, this is the picture

Looking out.

watching out

When I see the future I close my eyes

I can see it now

I see pictures of people, rising up Pictures of people, falling down

I see pictures of people

They’re standing on their heads, they’re ready

They’re looking out, look out!

They’re watching out, watch out!

They’re looking out, look out!

They’re watching out, watch out!

I see pictures of people

I see pictures of people
