Tricky:

Color me,color me
When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit down watching the door
Color me,color me

I really feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your cuff
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Color me,color me

Something fits along my spine
Just givin' lovin' from behind
Fortify my arms
Fortify my arms
Color me, color me.

One, one, two, one, one, two,
Move over, move over, yeah you heard what I said, move over.
I feel so lonely, haven't slept a wink.
I walk the floor, and watch the door.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Love's a hand-me-down brew.
I never know why sunday in this weekday brew?
I'm talking to the shadows, one o'clock till four,
And Lord how slow the moments go.
All I do is pour black coffee.
Since the blues caught my eye,
I'm hanging out on monday,
But sunday dreams too dry
They say a man is born to go alone
And a woman is born to weep and fret
To stay at home and drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes.
And moody all the morning, moody all night.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Black coffee.

Cath Coffey:
We're the only ones here so speak your mind,
I feed your appetite, now you feed mine.
I sing for you, so you can find your way home.

There's nothing to fear but fear itself,
If you know how to look inside yourself.
I sing for you.

Forget all you learned from yesterday,
If you learn how to change, you'll change today.
I sing for you, so you can find your way home.
I pray for you.

And I breathe aside my impurities,
But I can't take your insecurities.
If you trust, then trust me now.
Can you trust?

Cath Coffey and Dedi Madden:
Round and round together, round and round forever.
Pray for me, pray for me so I can find my way home.

Cath Coffey:
Leave me now, so I can be alone.
Can you be alone?

Into the morning
Got me through the night
I've seen the light
I see the light
I live of what I need
I've got greed
I've been a sinner for as long as I know
So help me understand
The little that I know
Shadow dancing with my spirit
Got to face your demon on your own
Take my body and put it through the dust
I've been buried in the crust
Together now
So help me understand
The little that I know
Together now, together now
It's us now, It's us now
And there's them, and there's them
And should we start again
Together now, together now
It's us now, it's us now...
The descendants of Christ
And it's you
Will you help me I'm confused
What you gonna do
With the little that I know
With the little that I got
We're together now, we're together
It's us now
And there's them, and there's them
And should we start again
Together now, together now
It's us now, it's us now...

Tricky:
I can't relax I need to meditate
Yeah, I'll make 'em wait
I can't relax I need to meditate
Yeah I'll make 'em wait
Time moves in numbers
I count the summers, direct the drummers
I can't relax I need to meditate
Yeah, I'll make 'em wait
Time moves in numbers
I count the summers, direct the drummers
Tell me you don't feel nothing
Would you like to ride on my train or
Would you like to drink from my vein?
My vibe's just a fuckin' feeling
I see the ceiling
And adjust to such a feeling
I be the prophet, slay me then we'll cross it
I'm ready on the other side
I'm already on the other side
I'm already on the other side
I'm already on the other side

Once upon a time not long ago
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
When laws were stern and justice stood
And people were behavin' like they're oughta good
There lived a little boy who was misled
By another little boy and this is what he said:
'Me and you tonight are gonna make some cash
Robbin' old folks and makin' the dash.'
They did the job, money came with ease
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
He robbed another and another a sister and a brother
Tried to rob a man who was a duty undercover
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic
He said 'Keep still, boy, no need for static'
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap
But little did he know the little boy was strapped
The kid pulled out the gun, he said 'Why'd ya hit me?'
The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure
'I'll do years if I pull this trigger'
So he cold dashed and ran around the block
Cop radios it to another lady cop
He ran by a tree, there he saw the sister
A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her
Looked around due to expectations
So he decided he'd head for the subway stations
But she was coming and he made a left
He was runnin' top speed till he was out of breath
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him
Then he made his move to an abandoned building
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor
Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope
Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap
He said 'I need bullets, hurry up, run!'
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
He went outside but there was cops all over
Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova
Raced up the block doing 83
Crashed into a tree near a university
Escaped alive though the car was battered
Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered
Ran out of bullets and still he had static
Grabbed a pregnant lady, got out the automatic
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o'lead
He told the cops 'Back off or the honey here's dead'
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong
So he let the lady go and he starts to run on
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded
Before long the little boy got surrounded
He dropped the gun, so went the glory
And this is the way I have to end this story
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh
Just another case 'bout the wrong path
Straight and narrow while your soul gets cash
