So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us

But only a few ever worried
Though the signs were clear,
They had no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can't even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open...

Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard, but they were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living

And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming
Is to stop being human
And why would I make a change if you won't
We're all in the same boat, staying afloat
For the moment

And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we..
Walk the plank with our eyes wide open

With our eyes wide open we...
Walk the plank, we walk the plank

And that was the end of the story

Seventeen seconds and I'm over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
To the voices in the back of my head

But it's alright now
(It's a distant memory baby)
Alright now
(You know you should just let it go)

Some feelings have a habit of persisting
Even though you wouldn't let it show

Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out

Brain-dead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right

But it's alright now
(Was it really worth it baby?)
Alright now
(Was it just a waste of time?)

Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try

Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out

Wearing me out
(But it's alright now)
Hanging around
(Alright now)
Getting me down
(But it's alright now)
Looking for an easy way out

Hey
What's your name?
Don't worry...
And don't be afraid
We won't hurt you

Hey
Lost your way?
Well don't worry...
Just do as we say
And we won't hurt you

It's hard
The world can lead you so astray
It gets harder
It's hard just to keep the faith

Do you need a reminder?
Of the love that we gave you?
Don't worry

You're walking away...
But we'll always be watching you

We'll always be watching you

You've been gone much longer
Than you ever said you had the plan to
I'm just gonna wait 'till you come home

Though I count the days, they're grey without you
The weather's much better when I think about you
I'm just gonna wait till you come home

Empty glasses, burnt out matches
Curtains drawn on near-full blackness
I'm sleeping through the day
You're coming home
To reclaim this heart you owned

Lover
Leave me
Make me burn
You're coming back!
You're coming back!

I'll wait patiently
For your return
You're coming back!
You're coming back!

I'm clutching at straws
I'm climbing up the walls
But every time I fall
Back into my hole
I'm feeling like a wretch
I'm looking for a catch
But you're an itch that I can't scratch
I know you're coming back

You've been gone so long you're fading
And it takes all the time I can find just retaining
Thoughts of things we did while you were here
But I know you will return my dear

Now your bowl is empty
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know
It hurts to let go

Since the day we found you
You have been our friend
And your voice still
Echoes in the hallway of this house
But now
It's the end

We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go

We will be with you
You will stay with us

Everybody's here with me
(we) Got no camera here to see
Don't think I'm not all in this world
The camera won't let me go
And the verdict doesn't love our soul
The digital won't let me go

Yeah yeah yeah
I'll pay (yeah yeah yeah)
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today

Stereo I want it on
It's taken me far too long
Don't think I'm not all in this world
I don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long

Yeah yeah yeah
I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today

(Da da da da da da da da)

Starshine
Never gonna find me
Starshine
When you gonna find me
Starshine
Never gonna find me
Starshine
Never gonna find me
Standing with myself
Feeling your love
Show me down

Starshine
When you gonna find me
Starshine
Where you gonna find me
Starshine
Never gonna find me
Starshine
When you gonna find me

City life
Calling me later
Leave my soul
In deep water
Never get a better chance
So what you doing
Gotta get money
Ain't quite what you're doing
I can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness

Shout my life
You won't get money
From doing what you're loving
Moving out of city
Better have a second chance
Get a lot of problems

I can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness

I can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness

you couldn't escape this music even if
your name's Houdini
our tracks say Lah for Life and don't
disappear like a genie
communicating through your
airwaves like a giant C.B.
'cause this one's for your radios or
whether you recieve me
our music is so hot, it feels like the
sun in Tahiti
we rickety-rock, Gorillaz style is buck
wild, believe me
we heavyweights who phase ya like
ali did with Frasier
we spit the most flava but musically,
we'll amaze ya
we've been blessed and we've been
gifted like Jesus in his manger
won't you shout 'Halleluia!' here
comes your music savior
from your heart to your mind, your
spirits to your souls,
we've come to take control with the
Gorillaz on patrol
see, our rhymes possess the powers
of a superhero
supernaturally we rock the mic but
wit' a natural flow
if you didn't know before, you know
now - we told you so
Gorillaz rock your dome just like the
one in Tokyo

it's a hard dream to contemplate
i could fall into the abyss-ah
and i love this interlude
it's the reason to deliver
and they called onto me
says they came to talk to me though
the more of us that lies,
i guess the kids don't live or die

'cause we're makin' this music that's
making you lose it
so people don't abuse it and there
ain't no way for you to refuse it
Gorillaz be the army that's startin'
this pardy-ardy
makin' more noise than carnivals
mixed with the mardi-gradi
we're comin' through your town with
the sound that's so profound
Gorillaz with the rappers that straight
from the underground
we're tearin' it down, makin' you ... Read more »

It's a sweet sensation, over the dub
Oh, what a situation, we don't want to stop
It's a trust for soul boy, over the dub
With the sweetest inspiration, we don't want to stop

'Cause it's the money or stop (x8)

It's a sweet sensation, over the dub
Oh, what a situation, we don't want to stop
It's a trust for soul boy, over the dub
With the sweetest inspiration, we don't want to stop

It's the money or stop....
