Massive Attack, Blue Lines

Tricky
Can's 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 words cos I saw the instrumental
Keep the girl at a distance, could lose her very easy
No sunshine in my life
The way I deal is shady

3d
Skip hip data to get the anti-matter
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 that looking back to see if they are looking back at me

Daddy g
Are you predator or do you fear me?

3d
-you wanna do a medicinal?
The place I really wanna go
The one I love but never gets near me

Tricky
I'ts 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 also gets lonely
How we live in this existence, just be
English upbringing
Background carribean

3d

Sharing a soliliquy
We cut the vocal drop the flexability
Walk a temper 'cause I'm rated comatose
No sunshine in my life cos the way I deal is hazy
Life from day to dazey cos I'm on my toes
Mi chiamo 3d, si, e sono inglese

Tricky
It'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
They turn to her to keep the faith
She told me "take an occupation or you lose you're mind"
And on a 9 to 5 lemon, looking for the lime

3d
Box clever, watch your sister come together
Crazy weather at the end of my tether

Daddy g
Massive in the area
Murderer
Attack are in the area
Murderer

3d
Some go softly softly when I have a tat
Ratchet in the right hand
They got the one to stab it at
Take a walk billy, don't be a hero
Effort's are minimal they're almost at zero
Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram

Carve me blue, green ? brumma? and zinc
Take it to extremities with purple and pink
I feel the colours fill my room beneath the patter of the rain
I can't stand the drops they're dripping down my windowpane
They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a spark upon my soul
They leave the rainbows in the dark

Tricky
Blues get big, massive are even larger
Save no space into the tricky tardis
Withdraw what I saw from down in darris hall
People laying their claim
In stormy weather it's rain

3d
But you're living on a see-saw

Tricky
I try to see more

3d
Somebody died. did he?
No body
Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water
The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jetset
Sample babies soft sounds in my budakon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the moonlight kissed them

Tricky
Massive attack not black up here or where I be
Two hours traveling so I wrote this on my feet
Always living fast, people getting jumpy
Where on ? gruggy? falls I do the walter crumpy
Microphones held close, crouching far apart
Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart.
