Letra de The Empty Dream Machine - Gorillaz

(Feat. Black Thought, Johnny Marr, Anoushka Shankar)

Promises

The promises we make

They clock us in at night

And check us out the next day

Tired, but not forever so

The feeling of the day before

Was really much more than anyone could pray for

Empty dream machine without you

Man's in chains

His mind's at war again, I fear

Its darkened angels

Are present here for him

And silenced now

By this dread

I thought I'd got my life straight

I thought I'd changed it

But it seems

I've been crawling lately

I've prayed, I've cried, don't let me fall

I'm a chastened man, right now

Right now, I feel this pain

I feel this transition

But I don't know what to say

Release me now

Empty dream machine without you

Listenin' to Asha sing, Dum Maro Dum

We acquire honor from, if but a modicum

A heart driven by the drum is what I borrow from

In the shadowy lights of the night until tomorrow come

Protection from clove, cinnamon, and cardimum

My chalice wasn't masala, it's something harder, son

My brainchild went from little one to martyrdom

Gave the bug to the inspiration we had caught it from

The armor stay wrapped tight like a chrysalis

There's planets in the palm of my hand like it's a callous

On the mountain top is a wonderland like it was Alice

So every blood vessel expand, forbidden talents

Doin' tantric downward, a gold tooth in a trash can

Was the beginnin' of me kinda takin' my last stand

When I was Wimbledon, they tried to swing me the back hand

Part of the pendulum and do me like I'm a Black man

That's Black-like spirits, Black-like Krishna

Or Black like a deity that's trapped like a prisoner

Empty dream machine without you

It's a wrap like chiba, rolled up into the Rizla

When you Black like Evil Dee or Black like Sizzla

I need you on my team

I need you on my team

The vision is distorted

I love you in that colour

Floating up above you

I'm trying to get my dream back

Need you on my team

I need you by my side, girl

Need you on my team

Automatic replies

Love you in that colour

I need you on my team, girl

Floating up above you

I need you on my team, girl

Need you on my team

This vision is distorted

I need you on my team

Floating up above you

Empty dream machine without you

Look up, I'll recover

'Cause I need you on my team

Love you in that colour

An empty dream machine without you

I need you on my team

Automatic replies

I love you in that colour

I need you on my team, girl

I need you on my team

Automatic replies

Empty dream machine without you
