Signal To Noise - Peter Gabriel

You know the way that things go When what you fight for starts to fall

And in that fuzzy picture

The writing stands out on the wall

So clearly on the wall

Send out the signals, deep and loud

And in this place can you reassure me With a touch, a smile —

While the cradle’s burning

All the while the world is turning to noise

Oh, the more that it’s surrounding us The more that it destroys

Turn up the signal — wipe out the noise!

Send out the signals, deep and loud

Man, I’m losing sound and sight

Of all those who can tell me wrong from right

When all things beautiful and bright sink in the night

Yet there’s still something in my heart

That can find a way to make a start

To turn up the signal — wipe out the noise!

You know that’s it Receive and transmit

Signal to noise.

The seed will transmit

The seed will transmit

The seed will transmit

The seed will transmit

yet there’s still something in my heart

that can find a way

to make a start

to turn up the signal

wipe out the noise

wipe out the noise

wipe out the noise

you know that’s it you know that’s it receive and transmit
