Alan Parry - Knowledge Tree Lyrics

Telephoto lenses give me insight to the secrets that you keep from me
Transatlantic information coming through my phone lines make it plan to see
Automatic situations take you to the edge of your insanity
Misinterpret what you hear and turn it into conversation over tea

Mistake the Knowledge Tree for blocking your vision
If you could only see, it's beauty and wisdom

Find a star and make a wish, don't tell a soul you ever lost your dignity
Rummage through the rubble in your heart and turn this loss into a victory
Scientific calibrations give you such a false sense of security
Makeshift introspection gives the slightest new impression of your sobriety

Mistake the Knowledge Tree for blocking your vision
If you could only see, it's beauty and wisdom

What are you calling for?
This time I hope that you're sure
Again, the advice is free
Just seek out the Knowledge Tree

Underlying circumstances travel to the front porch of your big new house
Insubstantial paranoia tricks you into thinking that there's no way out
Confidential lovers, seek each other, undercover when their world shuts down
Concentrating solely on the passion, if it happens, when the sun goes down

Mistake the Knowledge Tree for blocking your vision
I hope you one day see, it's beauty and wisdom
Climb up the Knowledge Tree with no indecision
See all the pretty leaves, find your solution
