[Verse 1: 2-D]
Chalk tablet towers, like drawing shadows
Chemical distractions, you are not with me
I departed in the spring, to a distant star
But I could not get back, I had gone too far (O-o-o-oh)

[Chorus: 2-D & St. Vincent]
I wanna get drunk
I wanna get stoned
I wanna give up
I wanna go ho-o-o-ome

[Verse 2: 2-D & St. Vincent]
Watching rockets take off from a parting sea
How will I ever touch you if you are not with me? (O-o-o-oh, out here)
There's only silence (Out here) No form of contact (Out here)
I am dreaming, looking into the darkness (O-o-o-oh)

[Bridge: 2-D & St. Vincent]
Home (Home)
Home (Home)
Home (Home)
Homе (Home)
Home (Home)
Homе (Home)
Home (Home)
Home (Home)

[Verse 3: 2-D & St. Vincent]
I won't be back 'til the end of summer, will you still be there?
I won't give up on you, darling, just tell me that you care
I don't need no trophies, no cell with a view
There's nothing I wouldn't give one minute with you, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
You, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
You, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
You, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]
(You, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(You, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(You, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

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.
