[Verse 1: 3D]

I seen you go down to a cold mirror

It was never clearer in my era so

You lick a shine upon your forehead or

Check it by the signs in the corridor

You light my ways through the club maze

We would struggle through the dub daze


[Verse 2: 3D]

I see myself in there upon my lover

It's how you go down to the men's room sink

Sad we talk of how madmen think

I see myself in there upon my lover

I don't know her from another miss

I don't know you from another


[Verse 3: Daddy G]

Why you want to take me to this party and breathe?

I'm dying to leave

Every time we grind we know we severed lines

Where have all those flowers gone?

Long time passing

“Why you keep me tested, keep me tasking?”

You keep on asking


[Verse 4: 3D]

Toy-like people make me boy-like

Toy-like people make me boy-like

They're invisible, when the trip, it flips

They get physical, way below my lips

And everything you got's hoi-polloi like

Now you're lost, and you're lethal

And now's about the time you gotta leave all

These good people

(Dream on)


[Verse 5: 3D]

Nicer than a bird up in a treetop

Cheaper than a chip inside my laptop

All the variations you could do with me

Nicer than a girl up in a mind you free

[Verse 6: 3D & Daddy G]

Automatic crystal remote control

They come to move your soul

You're gonna fade into the background

Like a better smoke'll bring you back round

Like a man slide inside you, my dear

Your cheap beer's filled with crocodile tears

See 'em run, now you're gone

(Dream on)

(People)


[Outro: 3D]

Toy-like people make me boy-like

Toy-like people make me boy-like

Dream on
