Lyrics Ponderosa - Tricky, Martina Topley-Bird

Ponderosa

The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino
The mind’s a crowd, search for the spaces
Turn around, time’s gone, I take ten paces
Been up ahead, can’t make head or tail of it
I drink till I’m drunk and I smoke till I’m senseless
See in black and white, feel in slow motion
I drown myself in sorrow until I wake up tomorrow
The illusion of confusion;
it’s not from where I am sat
(Recircle, recycle, resemble me)
Different levels of the devil’s company
They lead us outside, take us out quietly
To the cage through the bars
You see scars, results of my rage
The mind’s a crowd (the illusion of confusion)
Search for the spaces (search for the)
Turn around time’s gone (turn around, gone)
I take ten paces (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 'til I’m drunk (I smoke)
And I smoke 'til I’m senseless (I smoke, I smoke)
See in black and white
Feel in slow motion (feel in slow motion, and drown, drown myself in sorrow)
Drown myself in sorrow (till I wake up tomorrow)
Until I wake up tomorrow (the illusion of)
I drown myself in sorrow (the illusion of)
Until I wake up tomorrow (the illusion of, the illusion of)
I drown myself in (the illusion of))
I drown myself in (until I, until I wake up tomorrow)
The illusion of confusion
Is not from where I am sat (is not from where I’m circle)
