Peter Gabriel -o- Been Undone

By the heat of the sun, by the sound of a gun
I've been undone
By being overheard with the wrong choice of word
I've been undone
Yes, I've been undone

By the emptiest hole as I searched for a soul
I've been undone
By the weakness of pain when I desired to remain
I've been undone
By the clues in my case, by the look on your face
I have been undone
By the sense of too much, by compassionate touch
I've been undone

Like a wire on a spool I keep on unrolling
A single thread that seems to unwind and unwind
Unravel my clothing

By all the forms that you get from the Mandelbrot set
I've been undone
By the recursive slaves in the home of the brave
I've been undone
Though I want to observe, it keeps touching a nerve
And I've been undone
By the past that you trace, by a moment of grace
I have been undone

And I need more information
I need to know what's going on
And I need this information now
So I don't go wrong, go wrong, go wrong

But how can you smile when it's all gone?
How can you wait? No one will come
Believing in something that doesn't exist
Letting it go, listen and feel
Just listen and feel

By a squeak from a chair, a complete lack of air
I've been undone, been undone
By a slip on the ice, by a roll of the dice
I've been undone
By the Nazarene with His Turing Machine
I've been undone
By the mitochondrial cell, by the ringing of the funeral bell
I have been undone

And I need more information
I need to know what's going on
And I need this information now
So I don't go wrong, I don't go wrong

And it starts with the spider on the wall
He slides the spheres apart
And opens up the door
Opens up the heart
Oh, the memories showing
Spinning out on the screen
Until the quasar shatters
On the human plane
And it climbs out on the wing

How can you smile when it's all gone?
How can you wait when no one will come?
Believing in something that can never be real
Time to let go, just listen and feel
Just listen and feel

And I feel it in you
You feel it in me
I feel it in you
You feel it in me
I feel it in you
Oh, you feel it in me
I feel it in you
I feel it in you
