Lyrics

Watching for Shapes

Influences now are things that are all around me

Changing shape as they move around in an open mind

Coloured in by the images I find

I'm just watching for shapes that grow

I'm just watching for shapes that grow

(watching for shapes that grow)

Like electric sparks they danced by an open mirror

Closing doors never looking round but it's not goodbye

They'll be there till I'm taken out I know

I'm just watching for shapes that grow

I'm just watching for shapes that grow

(watching for shapes that grow)

In my mind there's a space that's full of painted pictures

Things I did that I went through, but can't recall

Now and then there's a flash of the unknown

I'm just watching for shapes that grow

I'm just watching for shapes that grow

(watching for shapes that grow)

(watching for shapes that grow)

(watching for shapes that grow)
