Hong Kong Lyrics

Lyrics

Hong Kong

From D-Sides2005

Written by Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett

Produced by Gorillaz, James Dring, Jason Cox

Lyrics

Hong Kong

[Verse 1] Lord, hear me now Junk boats and English boys Crashing out in super marts Electric fences and guns You swallow me I'm a pill on your tongue Here on the nineteenth floor The neon lights make me calm [Chorus] And late in a star's life It begins to explode And all the people in a dream Wait for the machine To pick the shit up, leave it clean [Verse 2] Kid, hang over here What you learning in school? Is the rise of an Eastern sun Gonna be good for everyone? [Chorus] The radio station disappears Music turning to thin air The DJ was the last to leave She had well conditioned hair Was beautiful, but nothing really was there [Instrumental Outro]
