Lyrics:
These are fast times and fast nights, yeah
No time for rewrites, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it
Fast times and fast nights, yeah
Closed eyes and closed blinds, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it
These, these are
These are the fast times
These, these are
These are the
Fast times and fast nights, yeah
No time for rewrites, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it
Fast times and fast nights, yeah
Closed eyes and closed blinds, we couldn't help it
Outlines on bed sides, yeah
Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it
(Ooh no)
Truth was there all along, tell me how did we miss it
We opened up a cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime
Of a cold case love oh oh
We lost our way
Took this too far
Now I'll never find the pieces of my heart
We've lost enough
Looking for a truth
That was here all along
Cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime
Of a cold case love
We opened up a cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime
Of a cold case love, love
I've been cursed, I've been crossed
I've been beaten by the ones that get me off
I've been cut, I've been opened up
I've been shattered by the ones I thought I loved
You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain to wash away, wash away
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind is a chalk outline
I've been cold in the crypt
But not as the cold as the words across your lips
You'll be sorry baby some day
When you reach across the bed where my body used to lay
You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain to wash away, wash away
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind is a chalk outline
All you left behind is a chalk outline (All you left behind)
You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain to wash away, wash away
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind is a chalk outline
Wonder if you regret the secret
Of us, us
Mistaken for strangers, the way it
Was, was
The pain of, the reign of, the flame of
Us, us
The outline, well, sometimes
Do you miss us, us? (Us, us, us)
The best kind, well, sometimes
Do you miss us?
I've been watching you dancing all night long
Your legs go on forever
Exquisite synchronicity, they never stayed together
My head's spinning, keeping focused on my mind and building this
I don't know who you are but I'm enslaved to make your service
Makes you fall in line
A moving silhouette
It's your body line
You do that thing you read
Make you fall in line
Clearly defined
It's your body line
A perfect outline, so divine
Chilling to half it must've been hazy
Smoking my eye a poppin
Fight for your country, you got something to gain
No one but Mike Jones driving
Girl come in and out, my excuse to get me is in danger
No will but that's like just emptied it
Wouldn't wanna be disillusion
Makes you fall in line
So heavenly ashamed
It's your body line
My oh my, oh my, oh my
Make you fall in line
A perfect outline, so divine
Body line
When we're moving, connection
Well bring me to the main view
It seems to want distraction
But what I need
Makes you fall in line
A moving silhouette
It's your body line
You do that thing you read
Make you fall in line
Clearly defined
It's your body line, body line
A perfect outline, so divine
I sang the song slowly
As she stood in the shadows
She stepped to the light
As my silver strings spun
She called with her eyes
To the tune I's a-playin'
But the song it was long
And I'd only begun
Through a bullet of light
Her face was reflectin'
The fast fading words
That rolled from my tongue
With a long-distance look
Her eyes was on fire
But the song it was long
And there was more to be sung.
My eyes danced a circle
Across her clear outline
With her head tilted sideways
She called me again
As the tune drifted out
She breathed hard through the echo
But the song it was long
And it was far to the end
I glanced at my guitar
And played it pretendin'
That of all the eyes out there
I could see none
As her thoughts pounded hard
Like the pierce of an arrow
But the song it was long
And it had to get done
As the tune finally folded
I laid down the guitar
Then looked for the girl
Who'd stayed for so long
But her shadow was missin'
For all of my searchin'
So I picked up my guitar
And began the next song
It's written clear across the room
In silent words the blind could understand
I came here to relax and find
A sleep that soaks me up like surf and sand
And you appear as I descend
A soft outline all poised and feather light
I come into the darkness now
To conjure up a dream and close my eyes
Don't disturb me if you dare
Join me if you have the nerve
I'll show you where the best of me has been
Behind my eyes I'll wait for you
Imagine just what we could do
Come join me in my wicked dream
Don't send me back to real life
The daily grind just leaves me feeling numb
Leave me in my wicked dream
Where pressure cracks and beauty comes undone
You're under my skin
'Bout to get in and I'm feeling so much
Been having visions
Colorless mess when I'm out of your touch
You take it away
After one taste and nothing hurts
Long, broken highways
In a dark daze, I've become a desert
I want you around me
Your ocean surrounding
Your potion to drown me
I want you around me
Your ocean surrounding
Your potion to drown me
I've got an intuition
Something like a diamond in a dream
Living in a full time fantasy
I'm into you instinctively
I've got an intuition
I can see your outline in the dark
Looking like a midnight work of art
I just wanna write this in the stars
I've got an intuition
Truth, not what it seems
Disappear like money, but I found my riches
Your perfect design
Mix it with mine and I don't want distance
I want you around me (ooh)
Your ocean surrounding (surrounding me)
Your potion to drown me (ooh, to drown me)
I want you around me
Your ocean surrounding (ooh)
Your potion to drown me (ooh)
I've got an intuition
Something like a diamond in a dream
Living in a full time fantasy (in a full time fantasy)
I'm into you instinctively (it's instinctively)
I've got an intuition
I can see your outline in the dark
Looking like a midnight work of art (you're a midnight work of art)
I just wanna write this in the stars
I've got an intuition
Oh, when you know, you know
I don't wanna take it slow
I don't wanna use my mind
No need to be defined
Oh, it's a wilderness
I'm tasting you on my breath (yeah)
Anything before you was just stardust and rust
You're the real thing
Something like a diamond in a dream
Living in a full time fantasy
I'm into you instinctively
I've got an intuition
I can see your outline in the dark
Looking like a midnight work of art
I just wanna write this in the stars (oh)
I've got an intuition
I've got an intuition
I've got an intuition
Kicking flavors Saint Laurent watch how I walk
Man this paper be the reason why we talk
Ain't no favors, they gon' outline you in chalk
You the biggest, biggest hater of them all
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no time
It ain't no time, it ain't no his, it ain't no mine
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no lying
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no flying
You dropping them dimes, you dropping them dimes, you dropping them dimes
You look like you lying, you look like you lying, you look like you lying
We do this Sunday to Sunday
Sun up to the sun down
Look like I stepped on the runway
They try to tell me to calm down
Peep how I came in the game and I start rocking that Tom Ford
We don't what we be saying, we just be yelling out bonjour
We don't what we be saying, we just be yelling out bonjour
I like to play with them bands right before I do the encore
I like to play with the cash, go in Laurent and spaz
I like to play with the cash, go to Chanel and spaz
I like to go to the jeweler, tell 'em to make me some glass
I like to play with the cash, go to Chanel and spaz
Kicking flavors Saint Laurent watch how I walk
Man this paper be the reason why we talk
Ain't no favors, they gon' outline you in chalk
You the biggest, biggest hater of them all
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no time
It ain't no time, it ain't no his, it ain't no mine
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no lying
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no flying
You slangin' that iron, you slagin' that iron, you toting that iron
You pressin' the issue, you pushing the gas, you making 'em violate
I'm dropping the top on the foreign, I zig and I zag I'm all on the grass
I did what I had to pass, you niggas you better go back to your stash
I did what I had to do, I ran in that bitch I didn't have a mask
I did what I should have did, survive through the trenches and look like a man
I sit at the throne, I sit at the throne, you niggas ain't nothing but some clones
I sipping that Dom Perignon, when I'm at the store they ringing me up
My bitch on a beach, gotta meat it up
I done gained a little weight and I'm keeping it up
Step in them christians I came out the mud
I'm flexing on purpose when I'm in the club
Kicking flavors Saint Laurent watch how I walk
Let this paper be the reason why we talk
Ain't no favors, they gon' outline you in chalk
You the biggest, biggest hater of them all
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no time
It ain't no time, it ain't no his, it ain't no mine
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no lying
It ain't no time, it ain't no time, it ain't no flying
I like to play with the cash, go in Laurent and spaz
I like to play with the cash, go to Chanel and spaz
I like to go to the jeweler, tell 'em to make me some glass
I like to play with the cash, go to Chanel and spaz
Yeah
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you (someday)
That may be all I'll need (all I need)
In darkness, she is all I see (all I see)
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends
That may be all I'll need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave, yeah
Oh, ah yeah
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you
You may not know that may be all I'll need
In darkness, she is all I see (you are all I see)
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning (and I never want to leave)
Driving slow (yeah, yeah, ah, yeah, yeah)
Ah yeah, yeah (all I need)
Ah yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah
There's flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair, oh, oh yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, ah, whoa, oh, yeah whoo
Just an outline made of skin
And my walls are paper thin
I want to let you color me in
Feel like I’m drowning from the sound
Of all the silence all around
My thoughts are gone
I’m going down
I’m turning inside out
This time I finally need a light, a light
Tired of seeing in black and white, white
Having flashes in my mind
Can’t take the ticking of time
The time that’s passing by
This time I finally need a light, a light
Tired of seeing in black and white, white
Having flashes in my mind
Can’t take the ticking of time
The time that’s passing by
This time I finally need a light, a light
Tired of seeing in black and white, white
Having flashes in my mind
Can’t take the ticking of time
The time that’s passing by
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
Driving slow
It's flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair
By day give thanks
By night beware
Half the world in sweetness
The other in fear
When the darkness takes you
With her hand across your face
Don't give in too quickly
Find the thing she's erased
Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain
Find the outline, things will
Tell you their name
The table. the guitar
The empty glass
All will blend together when
Daylight has passed
Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain
Find the outline, things will
Tell you their name
Now I watch you falling into sleep
Watch your fist curl against the sheet
Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim
In blind faith
I would shelter you
Keep you in light
But I can only teach you
Night vision
Night vision
Night vision
Don't move
Don't scream
Or we will have to shoot
Stop, right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them please
Stop, right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them
Please
So you think that you have seen her
When you're lying in between her
And you tell me that you don't care
Busy bodies getting nowhere
Everybody's getting meaner
Busy bodies
Caught in the concertina
You check her outline
Break her regulations
You watch her legs through several
Service stations
Busy bodies
Very busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Now you're ready for the merger
With the company you're part of
And you do the dirty business
With your latest sleeping partner
You're becoming
Automatic
Busy bodies
Out playing with the traffic
You want attention
You try my patience
With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance
Busy bodies
Busy busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Now you've given your performance
Though the matinee was idle
And you find that a wave of her right hand
Could seem so tidal
Just a second
Satisfaction
Busy bodies
Temporarily out of action
You wash and brush up
You want to dress up
You want to kiss her
But she's busy with her makeup
Busy bodies
Very busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
In the end, we are nowhere
Sleepless and still and tight
Maybe we shouldn't fall asleep
Saving what was left behind
Standing outside the chalk outline
Beside ourselves in time
The only thing I want, is the last thing I need
Awake and sleepless as stars shine
In the end, we are nowhere
Sleepless and still and tight
Maybe we shouldn't fall asleep
Saving what was left behind
Standing outside the chalk outline
Beside ourselves in time
The only thing I want, is the last thing I need
Awake and sleepless as stars shine
In the end, we are nowhere
Sleepless and still and tight
Maybe we shouldn't fall asleep
Saving what was left behind
Standing outside the chalk outline
Beside ourselves in time
The only thing I want, is the last thing I need
Awake and sleepless as stars shine
In the end, we are nowhere
Sleepless and still and tight
Maybe we shouldn't fall asleep
Saving what was left behind
Standing outside the chalk outline
Beside ourselves in time
The only thing I want, is the last thing I need
Awake and sleepless as stars shine
Another time it might have been so different
If only we could do it all again
But now it's just another fading memory
Out of focus, though the outline still remains
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives remember
Like the story that we wish was never ending
We know sometime we must reach the final page
Still we carry on just pretending
That there'll always be another day to go
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives remember
Another chance hello, another goodbye
And so many things we'll never see again
Days of life that seemed so unimportant
Seem to matter and to count much later on
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives remember
Gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound
Solid walls of sound (solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound)
Solid walls of sound (solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound)
Solid walls of sound
Solid walls of sound (solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound)
Solid walls of sound (Tip and Phife in town, Tip and Phife in town)
Solid walls of sound (solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound)
Solid walls of sound (solid wall of sound, breaking ground)
Solid walls of sound (solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound)
Solid walls of sound (Jabi, Ali, Phifey, Tip)
Solid walls of sound (Jabi, Ali, Phifey, Tip)
Solid walls of sound (Jabi, Ali, Phifey, Tip)
Solid walls of sound (Jabi, Ali, Phifey)
Yo, ATCQ, Massive and crew
Bars to any beat, we beat the beat for true
Massengale MC's, you smell like pussy stew
Don't let it be you, man up my youth
Phife, you should've spoke of, man you're in the mode of
Leave that to me, el-Hajj Malik
The man with a plan who made it real for us all
Like Marauders on a mission when we killin' dancehalls
Mmm, Saga boy, Trini man
Ride out when mic is in mi hand
Loved all of mi fans, one, two, three of dem all of the gang
With a couple pound a weed and a couple dollar van
Hmm, broke pockets, find another plan
Yeah, cyan dun, push up on a man
And big up the sound man
Dibby dibby DJ walk
Ayy, yo, most of them ah talk
They don't want no prob, they don't want no etch a outline
Inna bloodclot chalk
Earlier in the night when we bring out the music
With a box and a band killer sound boy movement
Live and direct when it all goes down
You an idiot boy, you don't wanna fuck round
Big tune make the world go round
Make way fi di soundboy crown
Dem fi know we di wickedest sound
One box off in your face make a sound boy frown
Sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Sound checking, a million watts are shaking the room
In just a few hours you're gonna feel the burn
All of the goons are checking their guns at the door
A solid wall of sound is here on tour
It's gonna get loud
So no phones allowed
It's gonna get loud
So no phones allowed
empty spaces
I see a big hole in the view
I feel an outline that traces
An imaginary path back to you
This ain't no ordinary blue
Too cold to hold
Too deep to swim to
Too cold to hold
Too deep to swim to
Last night
Turned on the TV
Looked out the window
And then pulled down the shades
When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?
We get it together now and then
But I can feel we won't again
Still I can't stop this endless strain of you
Listen to my words and talk the sadness that I bring you
I'll leave you today, 'cos I am nothing to you
Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Empty room today
And here I sit
Chalk outline upon the wall
I remember tracing it
A thousand times
Oh, the night she died
Why? Why?
There's no sleep today, I can't pretend
When all my dreams are crimes
I can't stand facing them
Now who will come
To wash away my sins
Clean my room, fix my meals
Be my friend?
When you look at me, tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words or do they go straight through you?
We get it together now and then
But I can feel we won't again
Still I can't stop this endless strain of you
Listen to my words and talk the sadness that I bring you
I'll leave you today 'cause I am nothing to you
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
When you look at me, tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Empty room today
And here I sit
Chalk outline upon the wall
I remember tracing it
A thousand times
Oh, the night she died
Why? Why?
There's no sleep today, I can't pretend
When all my dreams are crimes
I can't stand facing them
Now who will come
To wash away my sins
Clean my room, fix my meals
Be my friend?
