[Verse 1]
Here they come to steal my soul (Ghost train)
Wait it out until I know (Ghost train)
Tryin' not to feel I give it (Ghost train)
Movin' up until I go, go-oh (Ghost train)
She was not concerned about me leavin' (Ghost train)
Tryin' to be near my heart (Ghost train)
Tryin' not to feel like leavin' (Ghost train)
Movin' up until I'm taught to your side (Ghost train)

[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)

[Verse 2]
Got suicide for my baby (Ghost train)
Livin' up until I'm wanted (Ghost train)
Seein' like I'm out of Heaven (Ghost train)
Movin' up and taught I'm a weapon (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
I see myself pretend how to get there (Ghost train)
Drippin' down, I'm poisoned on the street (Ghost train)

[Chorus 1]
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on
(Ghost train, train, train)

[Verse 3]
Got suicide for my baby (Ghost train)
Livin' up until I'm wanted (Ghost train)
Seein' like I'm out of Heaven (Ghost train)
Movin' up and taught I'm a weapon (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ghost train)
I see myself pretend how to get there (Ghost train)
Drippin' down, I'm poisoned on the street (Ghost train)

[Chorus 2]
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on (Ghost train)
Come on, come on, come on
(Ghost train)

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.
