Daydreaming (feat. Shara Nelson & Tricky)

Tick-a-tick-a-tick

Boom

I quietly observe standing in my space

(Yes, darling)

Daydreaming

(Massive, massive, massive)

I quietly observe standing in my space

(Boom chick-a-chick-boom-chick-a-chick)

Daydreaming

Way that we say 'em in, style that we write 'em in

Massive Attack, we keep it strong just like a vitamin

Going for the positive and wiping out the negative songs

'Cause brother, it's relative

The past is picking up all the lyrics on the dance floor

And raise your spirit level 'cause it demands for

Attitude is cool, freeze below zero

Up against the wall behaving like DeNiro

Tricky's performing, taking his phono

Making a stand with a tan, touch it like cocoa

Smooth to keep you moving at the back now

Free is the needle, it's moving through the track now

Dance to the drummer's beats, we need new sticks

Bounce around the vibes like acoustics

No drugs or pharmaceuticals, for the body ain't suitable

Stick with liquid, me and trick, we've drop a paper

Which I use my tongue to lick with

Trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life

Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife

They shouldn't have been born, they're making me yawn

But I just take it easy, it's a Sunday morn

So you come on and light my fire and together

We'll grow forever, watch my AK rig go

Because my AK rig goes boom boom

My AK rig goes boom

Yeah, rhyming the jam and uh, we got the stamina

In case you never know us if we don't give a damn and, uh

And it's hard to handle, keep your distance

Resist and the posse gets the pleasure of this dance

The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat

You don't see it, but you feel it when it's blowing on the street

If I was a rich man, (da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

I quietly observe standing in my space

It's the devious days they call the rat race

It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town

Weebles wobble, occasional squabble

But what happen when the bomb drops down?

Don't make a sound

Yes, 'cause the dance floor's a desert and the dancers are parched

Do a rain dance and your brain's still marsh

My heavy, my brother get lighter than helium

Float above the world to break the tedium

Living in my headphones, Sony's what I say to 'em

The surreal boom of the Budokan stadium

Well, I'm floating on air

When I'm daydreaming

I quietly observe standing in my space

Well, I'm Tricky, kid, don't deal with sadness

Can't be with the one I love, I love the one that I miss

I'm very down to Earth, but brain sits on top floor

Don't need another lover just need, I'm insecure

The weather is a-changing, the storms be shaking

The love that you take is equal to the love you're making

Here comes the sun, little darling

Here comes the sun, it's all right

Yes, Tricky kid, I check my situation

Maggie this, Maggie that, Maggie means inflation

Hip-hop, you don't stop, 'cause I'm not sloppy

I like the beat so we need another copy

We're natives of the massive territory and we're proud

Get peaceful in the dance, adapt the glory and the crowd

The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks

I love my neighbor, I don't wait for the Olympics

See, you go hooligan, you're tryna play the fool again

Caught you in the lost and found

When your posse weren't around

No crowd, so you're going for your tool again

Daydreaming

I quietly observe standing in my space

Daydreaming

Well, I'm floating on air

When I'm daydreaming
