This Is the Picture (Excellent Birds)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel & Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson] 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 [Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson] This is the picture (This is the picture) This is the picture (This is the picture) This is the picture (This is the picture) This is the picture (This is the picture) [Verse 2: Peter Gabriel & Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson] 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 [Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson] This is the picture This is the picture This is the picture (This is the picture) This is the picture (This is the picture) This is the picture (This is the picture) This is the picture (This is the picture) [Verse 3: Laurie Anderson] Looking out, watching out When I see the future I close my eyes I can see it now [Outro: Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel & Laurie Anderson] 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 I see pictures of people, rising up I see 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, watching, watching out I see pictures of people I see pictures of people (They're watching, they're watching) I see pictures of people (They're watching out, watch out) I see pictures of people (They're watching out, watch out) I see pictures of people (They're watching out, watch out) I see pictures of people (They're watching out, watch out) I see pictures of people
