Overcome Lyrics by Tricky

Maxinquaye

1995

[Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird]
You sure you want to be with me?
I've nothing to give
Won't lie and say this loving's best
Whoa, leave us in emotional peace
Mmm, take a walk take a rest
And taste the rest

[Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird]
Don't wanna be on top of your list
Monopoly improperly kissed
We overcome in 60 seconds with the strength we have together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
And when there's trust, there'll be treats
When we funk, we'll hear beats

[Hook]
Karmacoma
Karmacoma

[Verse 2: Martina Topley-Bird]
You and her, walking through the suburbs
No, not exactly lovers
You're a couple, oh, 'specially when your bodies double
Duplicate and then you wait
For the next Kuwait

[Hook]
Karmacoma
Karmacoma
Jamaican an' Roma, karmacoma

[Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird]
You sure you want to be with me?
I've nothing to give
Won't lie and say this loving's best
Whoa, leave us in emotional peace
Mmm, take a walk take a rest
And taste the rest

[Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird]
Don't wanna be on top of your list
Monopoly improperly kissed
We overcome in 60 seconds with the strength we have together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
And when there's trust, there'll be treats
When we funk, we'll hear beats

[Hook]
Karmacoma
