Pictures Songtext
von Stereo MC’s

I′ve seen places I shouldn't have seen
I′ve been places I shouldn't have been
I've done things, baby, know what I mean
I don′t know if I′m man or machine

I see pictures in the back of my mind
I see pictures in the back of my mind
They're just pictures, a delicate mixture, unstable

People fighting in a faraway land
Tough wars on the palm of my hand
You sugar coated, sweeter than honey
You can ride like a crash test dummy
We wait and watch and we watch and we wait
Pushing buttons as we regulate
Playing knock down ginger on the 21st story
A sniff of Western or a bedtime story


About pictures in the back of my mind
I see pictures in the back of my mind
They′re just pictures, a delicate mixture, unstable

Don't let me down, don′t let me down
Do the right thing, bring me around
Don't let me down, don′t let me down
Do the right thing, bring me around

Breathing in and breathing out
Breathing space is what it's all about
And killing time when it's an illusion
I guess it helps knowing there′s no way out

I see pictures in the back of my mind
I see pictures in the back of my mind
They′re just pictures in the back of my mind
In the back of my mind, in the back of my mind

I see pictures
I see pictures in my mind
I see pictures
I see pictures in my mind
