[Intro: Grace Jones]
I am the ghost
Provocative
That's what I want

[Verse: 2-D]
A cha-charger, everything is supposed to get in
I just don't know where I'm a-getting it from
A cha-charger, what is the cause of it?
And well in that case, how do you know it's your own?
A cha-charger, what do you say now?
Thought you could use it when the flowers have grown
A cha-charger, what did you do in it?
I bet you're racing it, I'm left in a stew, shukuchi

[Chorus: 2-D & Grace Jones]
A cha-charger
A cha-charger
A cha-charger
A cha-charger

[Interlude: Grace Jones]
Okay
Yeah, okay

[Verse: 2-D]
A cha-charger, everything is supposed to get in
I just don't know where I'm a-getting it from
A cha-charger, what is the cause of it?
And well in that case, how do you know it's your own?
A cha-charger, what do you say now?
Thought you could use it when the flowers have grown
A cha-charger, what did you do in it?
I bet you're racing it, I'm left in a stew, shukuchi

[Chorus: 2-D & Grace Jones]
A cha-charger
A cha-charger
A cha-charger
A cha-charger

[Bridge: Grace Jones]
I am the ghost
I am the sword
I am the ghost

[Verse: 2-D & Grace Jones]
I'm gonna take you for a ride
(A cha-charger)
Everything is supposed to get in
I just don't know where I'm a-getting from
I'm gonna take you for a ride
(A cha-charger)
What is the cause of it?
And well in that case, how do you know it's your own?
I'm gonna take you for a ride
(A cha-charger)
What do you say now?
Thought you could teach us as the flowers have grown
I'm gonna take you for a ride
(A cha-charger)
What did you do in it?
I bet you're racing it, I'm left in a stew, shukuchi

[Chorus: Grace Jones & 2-D]
I'm gonna take you for a ride
(A cha-charger)
No antennas
(A cha-charger)
I'm gonna take you for a ride
(A cha-charger)
No antennas
(A cha-charger)
I'm gonna take you for a ride
(A cha-charger)
I'm inside you
No antennas
(A cha-charger)
I'm in charge
(A cha-charger)
No antennas

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.
