lyrics

La-la-la-la-la, I got my own perception
La-la-la-la-la, I got my own perception

There is no sight
save through my eyes

Go look
Don't assume it what it seems to be.
No good
You cannot know what it means to me
Go look
Don't assume you've got a read on me
No good
You can't show me what you seem to see

Don't make me laugh!

La-la-la-la-la, I got my own perception
La-la-la-la-la, I got my own perception

You have no right
to tell me lies

Go look
Don't assume it what it seems to be.
No good
You cannot know what it means to me
Go look
Don't assume you've got a read on me
No good
You can't show me what you seem to see

(You can wear rose-colored glasses,
you can call me any other name
I can wear those shutter glasses,
I can shut out half of everything)

Don't make me laugh!
After all, the laughter always fades
the underlying misunderstanding is what remains
in my own perception.

Go look
Nothing's ever what it seems to be.
No good
You cannot know what it means to me.
Go look
Don't assume you've got a read on me
No good
You can't show me what you seem to see

(Hold it like a superstition,
maybe then your baby will come true,
but I got my inner vision,
I can see the lie inside of you,
Is it really any wonder,
blame it on the sun that lights the sky,
You'll be watching like big brother,
you are the cruel sunshine of my life.)

Don't look! Don't look!

La-la-la-la-la, I got my own perception.
La-la-la-la-la, I got my own perception.
