Blue Lines Lyrics

    Tricky
    you can be with the one you love or love the one you're with
    spliff in the ashtray-we're strong but far too little
    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, moves are very hazy
    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
    it's 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 flexibility
    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
    mickey i'm a 3dsey sign away glazey

    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 your 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
    efforts 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
