One By One Lyrics by Peter Gabriel

Intro Verse 1 Mozo Was A Broken Man He Was Lying On His Land Every Home That He Designed Was Sinking In The Sand And Unity Was Coating Him About His Shattered Heart Reminding Him Of How It Was So Rock-Like At The Start Instrumental Verse 2 Later On, He Fell Apart Left Slithers On The Road When Strangers Asked Him, "Where Do You Come From?" He Said, "No Fixed Abode" And At First, There Was No Sign Of It It Looked Like All Was Fine The Clouds Came In And Swept Around Him They Were Bringing Like The Rain Chorus I'm Putting It All Together Though It Doesn't Make Sense Putting It Back Together This Is My Only Self-Defense I'm Putting It Back Together Filling In, Piece By Piece Putting It Back Together This Is My Only Release Verse 3 They Said His Soul Had Slipped Away And Left An Empty Shell There Before, Those Many Eyes His Wise That Tale To Tell Borrowed Wine, We Made That Comb With No Signal Came Back Home By The Time, The Crowd Had Noticed Him There Was Nowhere Else To Roam Chorus Putting It Back Together Though It Doesn't Make Sense Putting It Back Together This Is My Only Self-Defense Putting It Back Together Filling In, Piece By Piece Putting It Back Together This Is My Only Release Instrumental Bridge A Man Maps Memory-Lapse, Nothing Left To Do Though Light Had All Been Shattered, Leaving No Sign Of Clue And The Words Come Out Wrong, Because I'm Pushing Them Through They Read Alike, Sound Alike, Mean Alike Too But I'm Coming Back Getting It Together Making Me Whole (Oh, There's Nothing Left To Do) (Nothing Left To Feel This Love, Feel This Love) Oh, The Faces Rush Around Me, Not Crave Where I'm Heading Oh, But I Am The Light Upon, This Loosens The Shredding With Everything Solid, The Ones Held Us Winning So I Grab For Anything, Giving Any Sort Of Feeling Like A Jigsaw, That's Coming Back Piece By Piece, One By One One By One Like A Jigsaw (Oh, There's Nothing Left To Do) (Nothing Left To Feel This Love) Feel This Love Then I Could Be Standing At The Poll, When I Ran This [?] To Be Quiet For A Moment, To Silence The Rain Swept Away From The Center, From The [?] I Was Hot, I Was Cold, I Was Small, I Was Huge But Isn't What Isn't, Wasn't Seize To Exist There's Air In The Island, That Had Fallen In The Mist And The Contract Was Signed, The Darkest Will Weak And The Bridges And The [?], Will Open Up The Meek There's The Other World That Will Grow Upon My Mind I Could [?] The Ocean, The Blinds Will Left Behind I Was Wicked For Ignition And Fighting For A Place But Whatever The [?] Fail, I Can Make Count Your Face Come Back, Getting Together ? Holding Your Hand Instrumental Outro So We Gathered All The Wounds, Like Fish In The Net Time Couldn't Hold Us, And The Jail Wouldn't Set We Were Putting It All Together, One By One Piece By Piece, One By One Like A Jigsaw Like A Jigsaw Like A Jigsaw
