Annotationen
Die Vocals zu diesem Track sind atemberaubend aufgenommen – wie oft beim frühen Tricky: Es singt Martina Topley-Bird. Tricky hört man im Kopfhörer atmen und mitflüstern, was dem Track etwas wunderbar Klaustrophobisches verleiht.
Der Song ist vermutlich eine Ode an Mary-Jane (Marihuana). Die Lyrics finden schöne bildhafte Ausdrücke für den Rausch, z.B.: «[Mary] Says if I change my stride / Then I'll fly» («Wenn du einen Gang runter schaltest, kannst du fliegen»).

Lyrics
Follow where Mary goes Cherish the things she knows Says if I change my stride Then I'll fly She makes me want to die Change my stride Then I'll fly Look to the sun See me in psychic pollution Walking on the moon How could you dare? Who do you think you are? You're insignificant A small piece, an ism No more no less You try to learn the universe Can't even converse in human verse You know its ironic smoking hydroponic She makes me want to die Change my stride Then I'll fly She makes me want to die Can't even converse in universe (but leave out fifth line: She makes me want to die)
