Official video of Massive Attack performing Risingson from the album Mezzanine.
I seen you go down to a cold mirror It was never clearer in my era so You lick a shine upon your forehead or Check it by the signs in the corridor You light my ways through the club maze We would struggle through the dub daze
I see myself in there upon my lover It's how you go down to the men's room sink Sad we talk of how madmen think I see myself in there upon my lover I don't know her from another miss I don't know you from another See me run now you're gone, dream on
Why you want to take me to this party and breathe I'm dying to leave Every time we grind we know we severed lines Where have all those flowers gone Long time passing Why you keep me testing, keep me tasking You keep on asking
Toy-like people make me boy-like Toy-like people make me boy-like They're invisible, when the trip it flips They get physical, way below my lips And everything you got hoi-polloi like Now you're lost and you're lethal And now's about the time you gotta leave all These good people dream on
Nicer than the bird up in the tree top Cheaper than the chip inside my laptop All the variations you could do with me Nicer than the girl up in your mind, you're free
Automatic crystal remote control They come to move your soul
You're gonna fade into the background Like a better smoke'll bring you back round Like a man slide inside you my dear Your cheap beer's filled with crocodile tears See 'em run now you're gone, dream on
Toy-like people make me boy-like Toy-like people make me boy-like I found a reason I found a reason Dream on Dream on Dream on
