Severed Head Songtext
von Gorillaz

Soft decay
Soft decay
Soft decay
Soft decay

I′ve been losing everything, yeah
I can't keep a fuckin′ thing, yeah
Do the money, do the fame
It seems like that controls this thing
Guess my head just left the buildin'
Like out the window, missed the ceiling
I cannot explain this feelin'
I never learned to speak Brazilian

Now I′m stuck, my body left me bleedin′
Roll the train, it's passin′ fast, it's speedin′ outside
My body gone, I don't need the soul, ay
Just took another breather, so, ay
Found on my torso


I mean my neck go, but where do my heart go?
I mean my leg go but where do my mind go?
I guess I only gotta go when the body go
Geronimo (stay a little longer)

Paradise has mountains that take a lifetime
To climb in dreams, I fly above them
I′m haunted by what I saw last night
On angelic highways waiting in the darkness

I'm on a speeding train
I stick my head out of the carriage window
My cheeks inflate, my eyes become watery
Whoosh, my head is severed
Will you stay a little longer?

Condensation makes pathways down a window pane
I don't really wanna watch you drive away
What do you say? Maybe you could stay for another day
Oh, baby, wait

What exactly did the doctor say?
I′ve been grinding teeth awake in bed
And my achin′ head, how could love suddenly be dead?
We could swallow bread, hunger is not easily fed


I've been waitin′ for sleep to come
I've been breathin′ through these aching lungs
I keep wakin' up
This is worse than ever breakin′ up
If your time is up, how much more before mine is up?

Yeah, uh
The roundabout, the vibe is nice
We all will die
Yeah, I mean the roundabout
Our life is nice, we all gon' die, right?

Oh, the roundabout, the vibe is nice
We all will die, yeah
I mean the whole roundabout
Our life is nice, we all gon' die, yeah
