Opium

Damon Albarn, Remi Kabaka Jr, Eian Undrai Parker, Olu O. Fann

I been cooped up for a minute
I been inside working lonely
I don't bother changin', I see
I'm gon' bless my way after these
Winter lasted for ages
Trouble don't last always
When the light turn to day
We are ready, okay

Runnin', lovin', singin', huggin', livin', get it, stack it
Runnin', dancin', fire, people wake up
Come on, keep on dreamin', don't stop
Lovin', tryin', growin', don't stop
They gon' try to slow you, don't stop
Never ever, no, I don't stop
London, Paris, LA, don't stop

I land Jamaica, Rio, don't stop
New York, Lagos, Sydney, don't stop
You tried to kill me, created a monster
You tried to end me, but face it, no, no
Know why they envy, I got it, it's in me
Been so long since I had new faith
Been so long since I changed my ways
Been so long since I been okay
I met a lady on the side of the road
In her eyes was a story that had never been told
About a life that was lived on hope
And the truth of the inner light that we all hold
She said "Baby, I can hear my train comin'
I'll leave you with something before I go"
Listen child, don't you ever waste time
Trying to do nobody's shine, better water your own

Will we wake up tomorrow
And feel like we are closer together?
Sing for colossal changes
And how we treat each other when we're livin' in the city
Yeah, renovations
Is it man or woman feeling
This unbalance, today?

Hold (hold)
Hold the raging lights, they're shining on you (shinin' on you)
Hold (hold)
Hold (hold)
Hold the raging lights, they're shining on you
Hold (hold)

Runnin', lovin', singin', huggin', livin', get it, stack it
Runnin', dancin', fire, people wake up
Come on, keep on dreamin', don't stop
Lovin', tryin', growin', don't stop
They gon' try to slow you, don't stop
Never ever, no, I don't stop
London, Paris, LA, don't stop

Been a long time since I been outside
Don't let it catch up with me
Eye contact close with me
Tapped in, wrapped up, bring it in, let me in
Let me all over, in between
Leave your toothbrush in your dreams
I ain't worried 'bout the next thing
I be wit' ya to the extreme
Eyes bounce off the glow of the moonlight
I hope we're still close when the sun rise
I paint the picture here for ya'
I can't hold this in much longer
Searchin' for this feelin' my whole life

Hold (hold)
Hold the raging lights, they're shining on you (shinin' on you)
Hold (hold)
Hold (hold)
Hold the raging lights, they're shining on you
Hold (hold)
