Oil Lyrics by Gorillaz

Cracker Island (Deluxe)

2023

[Intro: Stevie Nicks]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: 2-D]
Then I put my codes
In the machine
But the world I found was made
Of faulty dreams (Of faulty dreams)

[Chorus: 2-D]
I was on my own there
In the psychic silence
I was looking out for
Some other kite to

[Verse 2: 2-D]
Fly out of the doldrums
And recall the log
From the early database
Of your love (Of your love)

[Chorus: 2-D]
Fairy light companions
To the dark maths that catapult
Us into imagined worlds
Seems a mockery remote

[Verse 3: 2-D & Stevie Nicks]
Interlocking cluster bombs
"Like drum and bass," I thought
Close the wells of poison
Fill them up with love

[Bridge: 2-D, 2-D & Stevie Nicks]
I was on my own there (Ooh)
I was all alone (Ooh)
I got lost, intangible
But that's the placе you reach when

[Verse 4: 2-D & Stevie Nicks, 2-D]
You can't help yoursеlf anymore
And the madness comes
You'll be falling into the
Bass and drum (Bass and drum)

[Chorus: 2-D & Stevie Nicks]
Fairy light companions
To the dark maths that catapult
Us into imagined worlds
Seems a mockery remote

[Verse 5: 2-D, 2-D & Stevie Nicks]
'Cause I got no choice in it
And I'm not so cold
I could look you in the eye
And not recall (And not recall)

[Outro: 2-D, Stevie Nicks, Both]
(I was on my own there, and not recall)
Don't think that my heart
Is a sad affair without you
Individual actions
Change the world
(Fill them up with love)
