Tricky - Massive Attack, Blue Lines lyrics

rate me

Tricky

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 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 Rapide.

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.
