"Daydreaming" lyrics - MASSIVE ATTACK

MASSIVE ATTACK
"Daydreaming"
(W. Badarou / R. Del Naja)

I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming

Way that we say 'em in, style that we write 'em in
Massive Attack, we keep it strong just like a vitamin
Going for the positive and wiping out the negative songs
'Cause brother, it's relative
The pass is picking up all the lyrics on the dance floor
That raise your spirit level 'cause it demands for

Attitude is cool, degrees below zero
Up against the wall, behaving like de Niro
Tricky's performing, taking his phono
Making a stand with a tan, touch it like cocoa
Smooth to keep you moving at the back now
Free is the needle, it's moving through the track now

Dance to the drummer's beats, we need new sticks
Bounce around the vibes like acoustics
No drugs or pharmaceuticals
For the body ain't suitable
Stick with liquid me and trick we've drop
A paper which you use my tongue to lick with

Trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life
Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife
They shouldn't have been born, they're making me yawn
But I just take it easy, it's a Sunday morning

So you come on light my fire and together we'll grow
Forever watch my Akai rig go

Because my Akai rig goes boom boom
My Akai rig goes boom boom

Yeah, rhyming the jam and we got the stamina
In case you never know us if we don't give a damn and uh
And it's hard to handle keep your distance
Resist and the posse gets the pleasure of this dance
The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat
You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street

If I was a rich man

Da da da

I quietly observe standing in my space
It's the devious days they call the rat race
It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town
Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble
But what happen when the bomb drops down

Don't make sound

Yes

'Cause the dancefloor's a desert and the dancers are parched
Do a rain dance and your brain's still marsh
My heavy, my brother get lighter than helium
Float above the world to break the tedium
Living in my headphones Sony's what I say to 'em
The surreal boom of the Budokan stadium

Well, I'm floating on air
When I'm daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space

Well, I'm tricky kid, don't deal with sadness
Can't be with the one I love, I love the one that I miss
I'm very down to earth, but brain sits on top floor
Don't need another lover, just need, I'm insecure

The weather is changing the storms be shaking
The love that you take is equal to the love you're makin'
Here comes the sun, little darling, here comes the sun

It's all right

Yes, tricky kid, I check my situation
Maggie this, Maggie that, Maggie means inflation
Hip-hop you don't stop 'cause I'm not sloppy
I like the beat, so we need another copy

We're natives of the massive territory and we're proud
Get peaceful in the dance, adapt the glory and the crowd
The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks
I love my neighbour, I don't wait for the olympics
See you go hooligan, you're trying to play the fool again

Caught you in the lost and found

When your posse weren't around

No crowd

So you're going for you tool again

Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
Well, I'm floating on air
When I'm daydreaming
