What if the whole world
Is crashing down through space
Sinking through water
Down to the promised place

Into the searchlights
The shadow's cross the bay
Property pistols
You know we're never here

What if the whole world
Was crashing down in flames
Falling through oceans
Down to the promised land

Stars shining brightly
A glow in the dark sphere
If green men ask you
We were never here

Why is the whole world
Crashing Down through space
Crashing down through space
Crashing down through space

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
