Ponderosa Lyrics – Maxinquaye
Lyrics: Ponderosa
Album: Maxinquaye
Artist: Tricky
Martina :
The place where… X6
Tricky:
…Where I stand
Martina:
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
Tricky:
Uhh…
Martina:
The mighty crowd-
Martina and Tricky:
Search for their spaces
Martina:
And turn around time’s gone-
Martina and Tricky:
Take ten paces.
Martina:
Been up ahead –
Martina and Tricky:
Can’t make head or tail of it
Martina:
I drink till I’m drunk-
Martina and Tricky:
And I smoke till I’m senseless.
Martina:
You see in black and white
Martina and Tricky:
Feel in slow motion
Martina:
I drown myself in sorrow
Martina and Tricky:
Until I wake up tomorrow.
The illusion of confusion
Martina:
It’s not from where I am sat
Tricky :
Recircle recycle resemble me
Martina :
Different levels of the devil’s company
Tricky:
Yeah x3
Martina:
They lead us outside-
Martina and Tricky:
Take us out quietly
Martina:
To the cage through the bars-
Martina:
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
(gives way to)
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino
(underneath the…there lies a weeping)
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
(the place where…gives…liquid)
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino
(underneath the…there lies a weeping)
The mighty crowd search for their spaces
(the illusion of confusion…search for…)
And turn around time’s gone, I take ten paces.
(turn around…gone, i take ten paces)
Been up ahead – can’t make head or tail of it
(can’t make head or tail of it)
I drink ’till I’m drunk, and I smoke till I’m senseless.
(I smoke, I smoke, I smoke)
You see in black and white, feel in slow motion,
(feel in slow slow motion, and drown drown myself in sorrow)
I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow
(till i wake up tomorrow, the illusion of, the illusion of)
I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow
(the illusion of, the illusion of)
I drown myself in, I drown myself in
(the illusion of…until I, until I wake up tomorrow)
The illusion of confusion is not from where I am sat
(it’s not from where I’m…circle)
