[Verse 1: 2D]
I lost my leg like I lost my way
So no loose ends
Nothing to see me down
How are we going to work this out?

[Verse 2: 2D]
Dreams are bad, our heads are mad
I love the girl
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you
But what are we going to do?

[Verse 3: 2D]
Picture I'm a dreamer, I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow
Time is a low
Don't you know?
What are we going to do?

[Verse 4: 2D]
When we go down
For all the sacred selfless days
Only left with heartache
I want to see you again
I love you
But what are we going to do?

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
