I’m A chastened man And right now right now I feel this pain I feel this transition But I don’t know what to say Release me now Empty dream machine without you Listening to Asha sing Dum Maro Dum, we acquire honor from, if but a modicum. A heart driven by the drum is what I borrow from in the shadowy light of the night until tomorrow comes. Protection from clove, cinnamon and cardimum. My chalice wasn’t masala, It’s something harder son. My brainchild went from little one to martyrdom and gave the bug to the inspiration he had caught it from. My armor stay wrapped tight like a chrysalis. There’s planets in the palm of my hand like it’s a callous. On the mountain top is a wonderland like it was Alice - so every blood vessel expands. Forbidden talents. Doing tantric downward. A gold tooth in a trash can was the beginning of me kinda’ taking my last stand. When I was Wimbledon they tried to swing me the back hand part of the pendulum and do me like I’m a black man that’s black like spirits black like Krishna black like a diety that’s trapped like a prisoner. It’s a wrap like chiba rolled up into the rizla when you’re black like Evil Dee I need you you on my team x2 Vision is distorted I love you in that colour Floating up above you Trying to get my dream back Need you on my team I need you by my side girl Need you on my team No automatic replies I love you in that colour Need you on my team girl Floating up above you Need you on my team Need you on my team Vision is distorted Need you on my team Floating up above you An empty dream machine without you Need you on my team I love you in that colour An empty dream machine without you Need you on my team No Automatic Replies Floating up above you Need you on my team I love you in that colour Empty dream machine without you or black like Sizzla. #themountain #gorillaz #newmusic #kong
