[Hook]
Don't get lost in heaven
They got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge
You'll make a big mistake

[Verse 1]
I got off a plane to the countryside
I drove to the mountain and a hole in the ground
There was crack on the corner and someone dead
And fire coming out of a monkey's head

[Hook]
Don't get lost in heaven
They got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge
You'll make a big mistake
Don't get lost in heaven
They got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge
You'll make a big mistake

[Verse 2]
Put me in a cab to the countryside
I just took a line but I never was 'round
There was more of it there, when I come back home
But you had left me 'cause you don't know my soul
You're a ho, girl
Yeah, 'cause you're a hobo
You can't get home, girl
You can't get home

[Hook]
Don't get lost in heaven
They got locks on the gate (oh yeah)
Don't go over the edge
You'll make a big mistake
Don't get lost in heaven
They got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge
You'll make a big mistake

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.
