Can't be with the one you loved and loved the one you're with
Spliff in the ashtray, wish tropical to little touch tickles
Especially when she's gentle
But I don't hear words 'cause I slide to instrumental
Keep the girl in a distance, her moves are very hazy
No sunshine in my life, the way I deal is shady
Skip, hip, dada to get the antimatter
Blue lines are the reason why the temple had to shatter
To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass
The faces on the pavement of the strangers that I pass
The ones I'm looking back to see if they are looking back at me
Are you a predator or do you fear me?
You're all on doing this and 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 whereas 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 his existence just being
English upbringing, background Caribbean
It's the way that we dility, sharing a soliloquy
Pick up the broken thread for flexibility
Mikiyama 3D-z, sono ain't glazy
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 remain in comatose
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
Then turned to her to keep the faith
She told me take an occupation or you'll lose your mind
Not a nine-to-five lemon, looking for the lime
Box clever, watch the system come together
Crazy weather at the end of my tether
Massive in the area, murderer
Attacking at the area, murderer
Some go softly, softly 'round a habitat
Ratchet in the right hand, they got no one to stab it at
Take a walk Billy, don't be a hero
Efforts are minimal, they almost touch zero
Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
The one that's lonely as a puzzled anagram
Car paint blue, green, primer and zinc
Taken 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 that dribble down my window pane
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 or even larger
Save enough space until the tricky tardis
Withdraw what I saw from down in dancehalls
People aiming and claiming stormy weather, it's raining
But you're living on a see-saw, I tried to see more
Somebody died, did he? Nobody
Broken on sunshine but still we're treading water
The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jet set
So I bathe myself in sound within my buddhacon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the moonlight kissed them
To massive attack, matte black, a pair of wearing beads
Two hours travelling so I wrote this on repeat
Always living fast, people getting jumpy
Where I go defaults, I just do the water pumpy
Microphone so close, crowd so far apart
Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart
