Lyrics

Can't be with the one you love? Then love the one you're with Spliff in the ashtray, Red Stripe, I pull the lid Her touch tickles, especially when she's gentle But I don't hear her words, 'cause I slide the instrumental Keep the girl in the distance, her moves are very hazy No sunshine in my life, the way I deal is shady Skip hip data to get the antimatter Blue lines are the reason why the temple had to shatter To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass Her face is on the paper, not the strangers that I pass The ones are looking back to see if they are looking back at me Are you predator or do you fear me? Yeah, while I'm doing this, I know The place I really wanna go Is the one I love but never gets near me It's a beautiful day, well, it seems as such Beautiful thoughts means I dream too much Even if I told you, you still would not know me Tricky never does, Adrian mostly gets lonely How we live in this existence, just being English upbringing, background Caribbean It's the way that we 'bility, sharing a soliloquy We cut the broken thread for flexibility Mi chiamo 3D, sì, sono Inglese No sunshine in my life because the way I deal is hazy And everyday's a daisy 'cause I'm on my toes While contemporaries of mine remaining comatose There's a looking glass she's looking through She hated me, but then she loved me too I'd lie, not try, so I lost faith Then turn to her to keep the faith (uh-huh) She told me take an occupation or you lose your mind I'm on a nine to five lemon, looking for the lime Box clever, watch your system come together Crazy weather at the end of my tether Massive in the area (murderer) Attack inna the area (murderer) Some go softly, softly 'round the habitat Ratchet in the right hand, they got no one to stab it at Take a walk, billy, don't be a hero Effort's on minimal though almost touch zero Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram Car paint blue, green, primer, and zinc Take it to extremities my purple and pink I feel the colours fill my room beneath the patter of the rain I can't stand the drops that dribble down my windowpane They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a mark upon my soul They leave the rainbows in the dark The blues get big, Massive are even larger Save enough space into the Tricky TARDIS We'd trawl what I saw from down in Darren's hall People laying their claim, in stormy weather, it's rain But you're living on a see-saw, I try to see more Somebody died, did he? Nobody Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water The son of many reasons searching for the daughter Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jet set Silver papers of the sound within my Boodo Khan headset The solar system watches in wisdom The children dance as the moonlight kissed them To Massive Attack, Matt Black appear wearing beads Two hours traveling, so I wrote this on repeat Always living fast, people getting jumpy We're on groggy falls, I just do the Walter Crumpy Microphones held close, crouching far apart Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart
