[Intro]
Okay, last time
This is drugs
This is your brain on drugs
Any questions?

[Chorus]
I was gone with the self of the day, gone
With the self of the day, gone
With the self of the day, gone
Gone, gone, gone
I was gone

[Verse 1]
I'm back, where are we going?
Seem to get tired of the morning dawn
With a basin on my head
I'm missin' all that I used to know, then
I get the kids to go
And I get up on with certain dread
And when I see the kissing down below
Easy life, I get right

[Chorus]
I was gone with the self of the day, gone
With the self of the day, gone
(Yeah, I get myself upright)
With the self of the day, gone
Gone, gone, gone
I was gone

[Verse 2]
I get dropped from where I belong
I take my pills and I get in the mode
And I take five to get it to load in
Even in the place
And I get my jeans on right
And sit in the rows and
Inside, I live in a cage and I
Peek out and summon the code
And I enter the lake to face what I'm cagin'

[Chorus]
Gone with the self of the day, gone
With the self of the day, gone
(Yeah, I get myself upright)
With the self of the day, gone
Gone, gone, gone
I was gone

[Bridge]
She gave me sleeping powder
I was gone
Gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
(I was gone!)
I was gone with the self of the day, gone
With the self of the day, gone (Yeah, I get myself upright)
With the self of the day, gone
(I was gone)
Gone, gone, gone, gone
I was gone, gone, gone
I was gone

Gorillaz

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.
