19-2000 Lyrics

The world is spinning too fast
I'm buying lead nike shoes
To keep myself tethered
To the days I've tried to lose
My mama said to slow down
You must make your own shoes
Stop dancing to the music
Of Gorillaz in a happy mood
Keeping my groove on
Ba ba ba (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Yeah, yeah
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Here you go get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
There's a monkey in the jungle
Watching a vapor trail
Caught up in the conflict
Between his brain and his tail
And if time's elimination
Then we got nothing to lose
Please repeat the message
It's the music that we choose
Keeping my groove on
Ba ba ba (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Yeah, yeah
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Okay, bring it down here
We gonna break out
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (lalalala)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (lalalala)
Day doo de bop

The world is spinning too fast

To keep myself tethered
To the days I've tried to lose
My mama said to slow down

Stop dancing to the music
Of Gorillaz in a happy mood
Keeping my groove on
Ba ba ba (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Yeah, yeah
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)
Day dee bop (lalalalala)

Here you go get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
