[Verse 1] Green, green, the neon green, new world towers Carved out of grey white skies, twenty-four hours Glide through the glass arcade to Hollywood The psychopomp, it leads me dreaming
[Verse 2] Of love, love, so far away, new world towers (Seven on me) Log in your name and pray, twenty-four hours (Seven on me) Green turns to red and blue and time relates (Seven on me) To us all again (Seven on a left-hand side) And sleep the rescue (Seven on me)
[Verse 3] Green, green, the neon green, new world towers (Seven on me) Plane flying overhead, satellite showers (Seven on me) Fall like confetti on the cavalcade (Seven on me) The flashboat seas (Seven on a left-hand side) All auguries (Seven on me) Reflected in you (Seven on a left-hand side)
[Bridge] Seven on me Seven on a left-hand side Seven on me Seven on me
[Verse 4] Love, love, so far away, new world towers Carved out of grey white sky, twenty-four hours Green turns to red and blue and time relates (Seven on me) The flashboat seas (Seven on a left-hand side) All auguries (Seven on me) Reflected in you (Seven on a left-hand side)
[Outro] Seven on me Seven on me Seven on a left-hand side Seven on me Seven on me Seven on me Seven on me Seven on a left-hand side Seven on me
[Verse 1] I get a set alone Dancing with myself Greedy go-getter gone The luxury of stealth Obsidian the ha-a-a-a-a-all Dancing with myself I get into my bed I do it to myself
[Chorus 1] To the local (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) To the lo-o-o, I go out (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh) To the lo-o-o-o-ocal, by myself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh) To the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2] I get into my head There's nothing to be addressed now There's nothing to get up about 'Cause we do it all the time The shepherdess undone She done it all again I get ready to go The greed go-getter come
[Chorus 2] He going to the local (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) He going to the local-oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) He going to the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh) He going to the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 3] Too many Western men Top button left undone Imperious their signs The pedlars of luxury A greedy go-getter in the sky bar She on her own She get ready to go She does it with herself
[Chorus 3] She does it with herself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) She does it with herself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh) She does it on her o-o-o-o-o-own (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh) She does it on her o-o-o-o-o-own (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

Ice Cream Man
[Verse 1] Here comes the ice cream man, parked at the end of the road With a swish of his magic whip, all the people in the party froze Screwball, chocolate chip, umbrella in his white glove hand Shade from the sun was his intention
[Verse 2] Here comes the ice cream man, bouncing up the hill With a wick, the pumpkin lit, Happy Valley cones he fills for All the lantern men, marching down till dawn Morning come, we fall over
[Chorus] Something new Something you Something new
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3] Here comes the ice cream man, parked at the end of the road With a swish of his magic whip, all the people in the party froze I was only twenty-one when I watched it on TV I was racing in my heart back then
[Chorus] Something new (Oh, oh-oh, oh) Something new Something new (Oh, oh-oh, oh) Something new (Something you do nothing about) Something new (Oh, oh-oh, oh) Something new (Here comes the ice cream man, out with his magic whip) Something new (Always sold out by nine, so you better come and get it quick) Something new (Oh, oh-oh, oh) Something new

Thought I Was a Spaceman
[Verse 1: Damon Albarn] Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dunes in a car park 'Cause the desert had encroached upon the places where we lived People like me fight to keep the demons in But we never succeeded, we never succeeded In fact, we failed
[Verse 2: Damon Albarn] Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune in a car park By the empty harbour where the junk boat phantoms float The fight for Happy Valley Sadly, the line broke
[Verse 3: Damon Albarn] Thought I found my black box washed up on the shore On outlying islands past the land fall Thought I'd thought I'd found it but that was not true at all I'd walked into a bar, raised hell
[Verse 4: Damon Albarn & Graham Coxon] Cut the chasm out me, always and always the same Put the ghost in writing and let it be (You again) Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune in Hyde Park
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5: Graham Coxon] Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune, you again Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune, you again, you again, you again

I Broadcast
[Verse 1] I love the aspects of another city The representatives are alright In circulation, the snake and the tiger Waking up clean-shaven in industrial light
[Chorus] I broadcast, buzzing on another day now All for a cold sore, something out of nothing
[Verse 2] I love the aspects of another city It's got your number and your blood type Living in Tetris, I need soft focus The apparitions of another bloody good night, right
[Chorus] I broadcast, buzzing on another day now All for a high score, something out of nothing
[Chorus] I broadcast, buzzing on another day now All for a cold sore, something out of nothing
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] I broadcast, buzzing on another day now All for a cold sore, something out of nothing

My Terracotta Heart
[Verse 1] And the bright rays we got in summertime Seemed like a breath of fresh air back in the summertime When we were more like brothers, but that was years ago So if it doesn’t seem like a protocol
[Chorus] I'm running out of heart today I'm running out of open road to you And I know you are emoting and you're dazed Is something broke inside you 'Cause at the moment I'm lost And feeling that I don't know if I'm losing you again
[Verse 2] And when we fly tomorrow over the Java seas And my younger maps will be there with me 'Cause they remind me of swimming out too far one day Then the coral was gone, but I didn't care anyway
[Chorus] I was running out of heart that day I was running out of open road to you And I know I was emoting, I was dazed Is something broke inside me 'Cause at the moment I'm lost And feeling that I don't know if I'm losing you again I'm running out of heart here Just sitting out the constant doubt in my head But I don't know what it is I'm sweating out the toxins Is my terracotta heart breaking I don't know if I'm losing you, if I'm losing you again

There are Too Many of Us
[Verse 1] There are too many of us That's plain to see We all believe in praying For our immortality We've posed these questions to our children That calls them all to stray And live in tiny houses Of the same mistakes we made
[Chorus] 'Cause there are too many of us In tiny houses here and there Passing out of somewhere But you won't care
[Verse 2] There are too many of us That's plain to see And we all believe in praying For our own immortality For a moment, I was dislocated My terror on a loop elsewhere The flashing lights part vacated On the big screens everywhere
[Chorus] 'Cause there are too many of us In tiny houses here and there Just passing out of somewhere But you won't care
[Verse 3] There are too many of us In tiny houses here and there All looking through the windows On everything we share
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4] We pose these questions to our children It leads them all to stray And live in tiny houses Of the same mistakes we make
[Chorus] 'Cause there are too many of us Oh, that's plain to see All living in tiny houses (Passing out of somewhere) Of our own mortality (But you won't care)

Ghost Ship
[Verse 1] I remember flashbacks lighting up Magic Whip Eight o'clock, Kowloon emptiness, handle it The white horse image I had of you eleven seconds ago I didn't send you, so you will never know I got away for a little while But then it came back much harder
[Verse 2] Swinging on a cable up to Po Lin Climbing panda, ghostly wine, and a battery That light in your eyes I search for religiously When it's not there, oh Lord, it's hurting me I got away for a little while But then it came back much harder
[Chorus] 'Til I ever hold you out there again, will you be mine 'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart in Hong Kong It's the last ride boarding here tonight Out in the bay (Out in the bay) I'll need a lantern in you to shine out bright rays
[Verse 3] Feeling out of body here, what can I do It's up to the top every day to join with you I had to get away for a little while But then it came back much harder
[Chorus] 'Til I ever hold you out there again, will you be mine 'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart in Hong Kong It's the last ride boarding here tonight Out in the bay (Out in the bay) I'll need a lantern in you to shine out bright rays
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] 'Til I ever hold you out there again, will you be mine 'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart in Hong Kong It's the last ride boarding here tonight Out in the bay (Out in the bay) I'll need a lantern in you to shine out bright rays Bright rays, bright rays

Pyongyang
[Verse 1: Damon Albarn] I look down from my window To the island where I'm held They listen while you're sleeping And darkness is itself Tomorrow, I'm disappearing 'Cause the trees are amplified The never-ending broadcast To which I do not aspire
[Chorus: Damon Albarn] Kid, the mausoleum's fallen And the perfect avenues Will seem empty without you The pink light that bathed the great leaders is fading By the time your sun is rising there Out here, it's turning blue The silver rockets coming And the cherry trees of Pyongyang, I'm leaving
[Verse 2: Damon Albarn] I feel like I'm floating Processed in Auto-Tune The never ending roll on To the palace of the doomed Temperature keeps falling Soon there will be no lights Just a red glow, glass coffin Watched by someone through the night
[Chorus: Damon Albarn] Kid, the mausoleum's fallen And the perfect avenues Will seem empty without you And the pink light that bathed the great leaders is fading By the time your sun is rising there Out here, it's turning blue The silver rockets coming And the cherry trees of Pyongyang, I'm leaving
[Bridge: Damon Albarn] There will be no light Someone through the night Someone through the night
[Chorus: Damon Albarn & Graham Coxon] Kid, the mausoleum's fallen And the perfect avenues Will seem empty without you And the pink light that bathed the great leaders is fading By the time your sun is rising there (Years ago, when we used to be rivals) Out here, it's turning blue The silver rockets coming (Our youths' minds and arms were bound) And the cherry trees of Pyongyang, I'm leaving (For our own survival)
[Outro: Damon Albarn (Mumbling)] Compliance is over Reality is fables, fables Ensuring humour, time's child Ask still, Seoul
[Verse 1] I got on a boat on a hot sunny day To get out of this town 'Cause the tarmac was melting and the people seem to sway Stuck in the underground
[Chorus 1] To the islands, the black kites, the wishing tree I wanna be with you On a slow boat to Lantau, the misty seas I wanna be with you
[Verse 2] I crawled out the harbour with recession behind And now I'm feeling the love of you So you better get a charge 'til I see you again You'll know just what to do
[Chorus 2] If you're caught up in the gales on the junk boat seas I wanna be with you With the pilgrims, the mountain, the High Trappist I wanna be with you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 3] If you're the landlord, the social on BST I wanna be with you On an island with red kites and verdant seas I will be there with you, oh

Mirrorball
[Verse 1] Mirrorball on a Jordan train I was under sea then up for air I did not retain Ocean Park, where the seagulls cry I remember flying dragons too I was there with you
[Chorus 1] So before you log out Hold close to me Hold close to me
[Verse 2] I'll be back when December comes All the barriers have been pulled down Where is everyone Oh, mirrorball, you're spinning out to sea Think I found you in the temple square Under the wishing tree
[Chorus 2] So cry your eyes out Hold close to me Hold close to me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 3] I cried my eyes out Hold close to me Hold close to me Hold close to me Hold close to me
