Risingson
Massive Attack Lyrics

I seen you go down to a cold mirror
I saw you stand in front of a cold mirror

It was never clearer in my era so
It was never more clear at that time

You click a shine upon your forehead or
You reflect light on your forehead, or

Check it by the signs in the corridor
Verify yourself by looking at the signs in the corridor

You light my ways through the club maze
You guide me through the confusing club

We would struggle through the dub daze
We would fight through the confusion of dub music

I sink myself in hair upon my lover
I bury myself in my lover's hair

It's how you go down to men's room sink
That's how you go down to the men's room sink

Sad we talk how madmen think
It's unfortunate that we discuss how crazy people think

I don't know her from another miss
I can't tell her apart from someone else

I don't know you from another
I can't distinguish you from someone else

See me run now you're gone, dream on
I'm running away now that you're gone, keep dreaming

Why you want to take me to this party and breathe
Why do you want to bring me to this party and suffocate me?

I'm dying to leave
I really want to leave

Every time we grind you know we sever lines
Every time we dance together, we create distance between us

Where have those flowers gone, Long time passing
Where have those flowers gone? A long time has passed

Why you keep it testing, keep on tasking
Why do you keep challenging me, keep me on track

I keep on asking
I continue to ask

Toy-like people make me boy-like
People who are like toys make me feel like a boy

They're invisible, when the trip it flips
They are invisible, but when the experience changes, they become tangible

They get physical, way below my lips
They become physical, but far below my face

And everything you got hoi-poloi like
And everything you own is like for the common people

Now you're lost and you're lethal
You're lost and dangerous now

And now's about the time you gotta leave all, These good people, dream on
Now is the time you need to leave all of these good people, keep dreaming

Nicer than the bird up in the tree top
More pleasant than the bird on top of the tree

Cheaper than the chip inside my lap top
Less expensive than the chip inside my laptop

All the variations you could do with me
All the different ways you could use me

Nicer than the girl up in your mind you're free
More pleasant than the girl you imagine in your mind

Automatic crystal remote control
Automatic crystal remote control

We come to move your soul
We come to move your soul

You're gonna fade into the background
You are going to become unnoticed

Like a better smoke'll bring you back round
Like a better cigarette will make you come back

Like a man slide inside you my dear
Like a man enters you, my dear

Your cheap beer's filled with crocodile tears
Your cheap beer is full of fake emotions

See 'em run now you're gone, dream on
They ran away as soon as you left, keep dreaming

I found a reason
I found a reason

Dream on
Keep dreaming
