You feel your life fading away
Feel your life fading away
You feel your life fading away
Am I dreaming or am I awake?
You feel your life fading away
As your strength starts to slip through your fingers
You wait and you pray that you won't feel no pain
But you're calm though it's dark 'cause it's soft just like velvet
And all of your life you've been walking around
With this helmet of cotton
Covering your nose and your mouth
Well, to hell with this rotten life
'Cause in fact this ain't life, man
I'm dead with my senses intact
I can see but I can't understand what's in front of my eyes
I can feel but I can't tell the love from the lies
I can taste but I can't appreciate
And when I touch they confuse it with hate and cry rape
And I'm moving so slow
I wanna turn up the tempo and the temperature
From a pencil to the damp plate on my literature
Right now I gotta come alive like I never lived life before
Turn up the pace and then turn it on down again
Turn me on baby, I'm burning, I'm hotter than
A furnace, the thermostat can't even counter with
Degrees, they keep reaching a thousand, just bounce with it
Turn up the pace and then turn it on down again
Turn up the bass, music's blazing, let's drown in it
The next verse coming in, won't you help me to count it in
One to the two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine to the ten
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Drowning by numbers is the title
The tidal wave struck me deep down in my slumber
With a pillow book tucked underneath all the covers
Like a million in the mattress, like I still own all my masters
Follow me, forgot where I put 'em
But that's a sidetrack, never mind that
Just erase and rewind that (rewind)
We're still drowning by numbers
With a greener way scenery and a somber ensemble
We fools in a pool of despair
And we pulling each other down gasping for (air)
We're too cool to be bothered, don't ask if we care
We just turn up the pace and then crash in your ear
Turn up the pace and then turn it on down again
Turn me on baby, I'm burning, I'm hotter than
A furnace, the thermostat can't even counter with
Degrees, they keep reaching a thousand, just bounce with it
Turn up the pace and then turn it on down again
Turn up the bass, music's blazing, let's drown in it
The next verse coming in, won't you help me to count it in
One to the two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine to the ten
It's the final countdown
We stir up Europe like our private compound
Export CDs to the West, push the vinyl southbound
MP3s in the East, kill all rivaling sounds
For real, nah, we buggin'
We turn down the pace just in case you be thuggin'
And sippin' the (sud)
If you're mixing this (stuff)
It's the heaviest (blow)
Both sides the Atlantic, the deadliest drug
Already spooned and chopped up
So when my new shit pops up
Make sure to cop a pass 'fore my crew gets locked up
For possession and trafficking
Dressed it in packages, dressed up as passengers
Messed up your casual dress
Airplane food tray in your lap
X-ray, new trays in your lap
Next day, Dick Tracy gets had
He's pushing up daisies, my LP's a smash
Turn up the pace and then turn it on down again
Turn me on baby, I'm burning, I'm hotter than
A furnace, the thermostat can't even counter with
Degrees, they keep reaching a thousand, just bounce with it
Turn up the pace and then turn it on down again
Turn up the bass, music's blazing, let's drown in it
The next verse coming in, won't you help me to count it in
One to the two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine to the ten
Lift off (choo)
Enter in space
(Degrees, they keep reaching a thousand, just bounce with it)
(Turn up the pace and then turn it on down again)
(Turn up the bass, music's blazing, let's drown in it)
(The next verse coming in, won't you help me to count it in)
(One to the two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine to the ten)
