Janelle Monáe

Sorry I ran away
Me lost too
Sorry I'm in a maze
No words do
Soar in my dreams
In my dreams
This stormy sunrise
Will die
And I'll be with you
My love, my love

Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo
Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo
Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo

We're dancing free, but we're stuck here underground
(Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
And everybody trying to figure they way out
(Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Heh-heh-heh-hey, all we ever wanted to say
Was chased, erased, and then blown away
And day-to-day we live in a daze

We march all around till the sun goes down, night children, night children
(Night children hid around)
Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom)
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind

Oh make it rain, ain't a thing and it's gonna fall
(The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)
And when the truth goes bang, the shouts splatter out
(Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
(You gotta oo ah-ah like a panther)
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na-na na)

He lived in Sector 10
He had a friend named Benjamin
Sail away, sail away Suzanne

So strong for so long
All I wanna do is sing my simple song
Is it square or round, rich or poor?
At the end of day and night all we want is more
I keep my feet on solid ground
And use my wings when storms come around
(I use, I use my wings when storms come around)
I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom
(Freedom, freedom, freedom)
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind

Oh make it rain, ain't a thing and it's gotta fall
(The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)
And when the truth goes bang, the shouts splatter out
(Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
(You gotta oo ah-ah like a panther)
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na)

Civil rights, civil war
Hood rat, crack whore
Carefree, nightclub
Closet drunk, bathtub
Outcast, weirdo
Stepchild, freak show
Black girl, bad hair
Broad nose, cold stare
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na)

Tap shoes, Broadway
Tuxedo, holiday
Creative block, love song
Stupid words, erased song
Gun shots, orange house
Dead man walking with a dirty mouth
Spoiled milk, stale bread
Welfare, bubonic plague
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na)

Record deal, light bulb
Keep-back kid, now corporate thug
Breast cancer, common cold
HIV, lost hope
Overweight, self esteem
Misfit, broken dream
Fish tank, small bowl
Closed minded, dark hold
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na)

Cybergirl, droid control
Get away now they trying to steal your soul
Microphone, one stage
Tomboy, outrage
Street fight, bloody war
Instigators, third floor
Promiscuous child, broken heart
STD, quarantine
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na)

Heroin needle, coke head
Final chapter, death bed
Plastic sweat, metal skin
Metallic tears, mannequin
Carefree, night club
Closet drunk, bathtub
White House, Jim Crow
Dirty lies, my regards
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na)

And when the world just treats you wrong
Just come with me and I'll take you home
No need to pack a bag

(Just treat you
Just treat you wrong)

Who put your life in the danger zone?
You running dropping like a rolling stone
No time to pack a bag

You just can't stop your heart from hanging on
The old man dies and then a baby's born
Chan-chan-chan-change your life

And when the world just treats you wrong
Just come with us and we'll take you home
Shan-Shan-Shan-Shangri-La
Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na

Good morning, cy-boys and cyber girls!
I am happy to announce that we have a star-crossed winner in today’s heartbreak sweepstakes.
Android Number 57821, otherwise known as Cindi Mayweather,
Has fallen desperately in love with a human named Anthony Greendown.
And you know the rules!
She is now scheduled for immediate disassembly!
Bounty hunters, you can find her in the Neon Valley Street District on the 4th floor
At the Leopard Plaza apartment complex.
The droid control marshals are full of fun rules today:
No phasers, only chainsaws and electrodaggers!
Remember! Only card-carrying hunters can join our case today.
And as usual, there will be no reward
Until her cyber-soul is turned into the Star Committee.

Happy hunting!

I?m an alien from outer space
(Outer space)
I?m a cyber girl without a face a heart or a mind
(A product of the man, I?m a product of the man)
Ci ci ci

I?m a savior without a race
(Without a face)
On the run 'cause they [unverified] hit our ways
And chase my kind
They?ve come to destroy me

And I think to myself
(Impossible, it?s impossible for me)
Wait, it?s impossible
Now they?re getting at me
(And the police are after you)
They?re even after you, for loving too

And all the sirens go dooodoo
The sirens go dooodoooodooo
Dooodoo
Ohh baby, uhh, you know the rules
I love you and I won?t take no [unverified]

They say that violet stars was such a freak
(Such a freak)
When you?re all in lost in love
Following them dark [unverified]
Of Neon Valley streets
(Of neon valley streets)

A pretty day makes a pretty picture
But fall in love and they?re coming to get ya
Who knew ten men with guns were at the door
They trick and treat?

Wait, it?s impossible that they?re coming for me
(The police are after you)
And now they?re after you
(For loving too)

Baby, I hear the sirens go dooodoo
Sirens go dooodoo
Doooodoooodoo
Come on, baby ?cause here they?re coming now
(You know the rules)

(Whispering)
It?s impossible that they?re coming for me
(The police are after you
He loves me too)

And now they?re after you
(For loving too, he loves me too)

Baby, I hear the sirens go dooodoo
Sirens go dooodoooo
Doooodoooodoo
(I said, uhh baby)
You know the rules

drug boy said it's show time
streets don't give a damn
they filled with such pollution
the kids don't stand a chance
we're trapped inside the matrix
forced to play our hand
we're fill with so much hatred
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
well since i was planted at birth
i abandoned my own planet
and i landed on earth
as a kid i never understood
what i observed some of it was
strange but most of it disturbed me
always in detention for the
lack of my attention
you could call it deficit
really i just didn't listen
and i was always missin'
the teachers like
where is bobby simons
but tryna get a record deal is
all i can i remember
it's funny cause lookin back
on the past that i had
all my days in the streets
tryna prove that i was bad
i still elevated to the level
that i'm at still elevated
to the level that i'm at
we're trapped inside the matrix
forced to play our hand
we're fill with so much hatred
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
sometimes it's hard to grow
while livin in fear of the unknown
how can he ever give love
when no love is in his heart
a child can barely see that i
do worry bout tomorrow
and what it beholds
he drowns himself
deep down in his sorrow
will you run or will you
share your light
tell a story of the live and try
see it when we're given hope
that we know that we can grow
we're trapped inside the matrix
forced to play our hand
we're fill with so much hatred
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance

Ooh

Early each morning he searched for her
Till his feet became bloody and tired
Her hologram photo stayed near to him
Buried deep in the pits of his heart

The lock of gray hair that she gave to him
Stayed clutched in his fist through the night
Dead or alive, she still yearned for him
'Cause even in darkness there's light

Oh and one, oh one
It's your time
Lead them both back to one
The sun has come (the sun has come)
May your light lead them both back to one (both back to one)

Indivisible sum
Here's the book, now the saga's begun
(He wonders if she is the one)
(She wonders if he is the one)
You're the one

Cold in the cell, lost and shivering
Gunshots in hallways unknown
On the fifth floor, past the blue door
Sat a chained 57821

Sir Greendown told his dear Cindi
"Fight like Achilles in Troy
I will show you the ways that I love you
I saved you so you'd save the world
'Cause you're the one."

Oh one
It's your time
Lead us all back to one
The sun has come
May your light lead them us all back to one
(I won't lose you now)

Indivisible sum
Here's the book, now the saga's begun
(I wonder if I am the one
Wonder if I am the one)

Oh, you're the one
Oh oh one
It's your time
Lead us all back to one (You're the one)
The sun has come
May your light lead them us all back to one
(May you Lord, lead us all back to one)

Indivisible sum
Here's the book, now the saga's begun
(I wonder if I am the one
I wonder if I am the one)
You're the one

Anthony Greendown, your Cindi Mayweather
Will always be waiting for you
Just as sure as the sunlight keeps beaming on your eyes
She'll always be waiting for you

The only love my heart approaches
Your tender eyes fill mine with roses
I drink your wine
And never will my heart dry inside

Walking like a lonely fool in Prague
Singing a love song and the words I wrote
I wrote for two
Gentle as a lullaby at night
I hear you humming private melodies
You're near

BaBopByeYa
Where are you my darling?
MyBopByeYa
Can you hear me calling?

Rewind the clock, our time's approaching
Give us the eyes to guide us most when
We have no light to see throughout all our darkest days
And troubled ways

Meet me
Meet me
Meet me at the door by the garden
Meet me at the door by the garden
Meet me at the door by the garden
I'll be at the door

BaBopByeYa
There's no one above you
BaBopByeYa
I won't leave without you

(Ojos miran hacia la luna
Evitan un mundo tan triste
Dominado bajo el odio
Donde el amor no existe
Dame en su reino refugio
De la oscuridad peligrosa
Espero en la esquina, Querida
Busco la llamanda amorosa)

Like a lonely matador at night
Fighting in the darkness for the light
I won't stop until I hear the call of love

And when I'm alone, you are near to me
You have made a home in my memory
There you will abide for forever
And I will keep you warm in the night

(Like a lonely matador at night
Fighting in the darkness for the light)

(Ojos miran hacia la luna
Busco la llamanda amorosa
Ojos miran hacia la luna
Busco la llamanda amorosa)

I heed echoes of your laughter in the corners of my mind
While I memorize each detail of your intricate design
In your hair, there is a symphony
Your lips, a string quartet
They tell stories of the Neon Valley Street
Where we first met

Now somewhere time pursues us
As we love in technicolor
But I dwell in silence on your words
Which move me like none other

This time I shall be unafraid
And violence will not move me
This time we will relax
This time we will stay in our movie
(I will be there for you)

I see beyond tomorrow
This life of strife and sorrow
My freedom calls and I must go
I must go
I must go
I must go

So, you think I'm alone
But being alone's the only way to be
When you step outside
You spend life fighting for your sanity

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?

If you wanna be free (If you want to be free)
Below the ground's the only place to be
'Cause in this life ('Cause in this life)
You spend time running from depravity

This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?

Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong
May all evil stumble as it flies in the world
All the tribes come and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night and have faith in love

I'm trying to find my peace (Tryin' to find my peace)
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me (There's something wrong with me)
And it hurts my heart (It hurts my heart)
Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see?

That this is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

This is a cold
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
Kelindo!

Do you know?
It's a cold, cold
Do you?
Do you?
Do you?

It's a cold, cold
You better know what you're fighting for

Bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't you cry when I say goodbye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't you cry when I say goodbye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't you cry when I say goodbye

[Saul Williams]
Cyborg, android
D-boy, decoy
Water, wisdom
Tightrope, vision (Oh, these dreams are forever)
Insight, stronghold
Heartless, ice cold (If you leave now or never)
Mystery, mastery (mastery)
Solar (solar), battery

[Janelle Monae]
Some will pull the gun because they want to be stars
Snatching up your life into the blink of an eye
And if you see your cloning on a street walking by
Keep a-running for your life 'cause only one will survive (Oh, these dreams are forever)

War is in the street and it's an eye for an eye
Run on for your life or you can dance you can die (If you leave now or never)
She's praying in the sand like she's the last samurai
It's a stick-up stick-up and a pick-up pick-up

Telling lies and telling lies will put your face on fire
Run and tell your friends to never dream, never win
Ghettos keep a-cryin' till the streets full of zombies
Kids are killing kids and then the kids join the army

Rising and a-waking, yes sir here come the sun
March into the warring with the kick of the drum
The wiser simians, they got the bomb and the guns
So you might as well keep dancing if you're not gonna run

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
These dreams are forever

N-N-Now-now-now I'm not saying it's better to bailar
You can pull the trigger or you build you an ark
My words are rather kind you keep them held in contempt
Looking for a nine and then a droid you can tempt

Kids are, "Zombie, zombie, zombie, where do dreams come from?"
A little birdie chirping and she's singing a song
She's shaking 'em and waking 'em and giving 'em mas
As the clock tick-tocked and the bodies drop

I'm gonna lay myself so far way down right in your chops
Modern day example of a wolf vs flock
Freedom necessary and it's by any means
Frozen they were stolen all the kings and the queens

Sudanese and Congolese who put the roll in the rock
From here to Sudan, Metropolis to Iraq
It's a minute to the dawn and yet the sun ain't back
It's a war in all the streets and yes these freaks will dance or die

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

[Saul Williams]
Angel, blossom
Gunshot, dodging
Dream, bright
Beat, light
Breathe, live
Help, give
Focus, trance
Wake up, dance

[Janelle Monae]
I'm praying for the man sitting without much time
May he understand the clock will never rewind
Wisen him and sharpen him and give him a motto
Hate no more, said he must hate no more

You see the daylight comes into the kingdom
But the kingdom's full of ignorant men
Just keep rebelling away, you gotta dream it away
Because the weathermen you're seeing ain't creating the weather

This man wants to see a jubilation
And that man wants us in emancipation
And then there is the man who wants a stronger nation
But you see we really got to and I think that we ought to

Protect the mind from degradation
Sow in the seeds of education
They run from us, are we that dangerous?
There's a war in all the streets and yes the freaks will dance or die!

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever

(Forever, forever, forever, forever)
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
Oh these

(These dreams are forever)

Faster
Faster, faster

You
Since that magic day
We've been like magnets in a play
We smash in, then pull away
Every day (Every day)

You, you
You're a jet, a flying gun
You kill me softly with your sun
You melt my wings, then call it fun
I should run

(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster, faster I should run
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster and faster from your arms
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster and faster I should run
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster and faster from your arms
(Ohhh)

I
Watch my powers die
Falling out of starry skies (Out starry skies)
You kryptonite my life
Every night (Faster, faster)

Oh the
The ending of the road
Dashing prince or horny toad?
Who really ever knows?
I should know

(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster and faster I should run
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster and faster from your arms
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster and faster I should run
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster)
Faster and faster from your arms
(Ohhh)

Mmm yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm runnin'
I'm runnin'
I'm runnin', runnin', runnin'
(Shakin' like a schizo)
I'm shakin' like
Shakin' like a schizo
('lectric sheep)
'lectric sheep all over my beat
(Dancing in the window)
They dancin', dancin', dancin' in the window
(My heart beats)
My heart beats
It beats for you and only you
(It's kickin' like a kick drum)
And it's kicking like a kick kick drum

(Am I free?)
Am I a-free?
Uh, am I a-free?
(Just another weirdo)
Or just another little weirdo?
(Call me weak)
Call me weak
Or better yet, you can call me
(Just call me your hero)
You can call me your hero, baby

You can't clamp down all my good times
I know right from wrong
Kissing loving's feeling good
It knocked this feeling down
You hide your chainsaw deep in kisses
That don't make it quiet
You got me running, muttering, screaming
Each and every night

Faster and faster I should run
Faster and faster from your arms

Faster and faster I should run
Faster and faster from your arms

Faster and faster I should run
Faster and faster from your arms

I'm locked inside
A land called Foolish Pride
Where the man is always right
He hates to talk but loves to fight
Is that alright?

On real cold days
He loans us lots of hate
But he says that we must pay
To take it all away
Is that okay?

But I'm asking you, will you stay with me?
In this land where we are free
(Don't you know I know?)
And I know it's rough
And you've had enough
But one day we'll be happy

And when I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes
Hearts of hatred rule the land, while love is left aside
Kill and bled the citizen, while music slowly dies
I get frightened, I
See, I get frightened, I

Oh how, oh how I need you, baby
To keep me from going crazy
I really need you, baby
Need you to stay

Oh how, oh how I need you, baby
These people are so crazy
I really need you, baby
Need you to stay

Fight (She's quick to fight)
For her man but not her rights
Even though it's 3005
When will we end this genocide?
And that's not right

Her children cry
No food to eat and afraid as flies
The color black means it's time to die
And nobody questions why
'Cause they're too scared to stop the man

But I'm asking you (I'm asking you)
Eill you stay with me? (To stay with me)
In this land where we are free
And I know it's rough
And you've had enough
But one day we'll be happy

'Cause when I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes
Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles
The writers and the artists all are paid to tell us lies
They keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside

Oh how, oh how I need you, baby
To keep me from going crazy
I really need you, baby
Need you to stay

Oh how, oh how I need you, baby
These people are so crazy
I really need you, baby
Need you to stay

I can make a change
I can start a fire
Lord, make me love again
Fill me with desire

I can make a change
I can start fire
Make me love again
Lord, thank you for desire

And when I look into your pretty eyes, I almost want to cry
I think about my life and I don't want to live a lie
How I need you baby, I need you right by my side
I need you tonight, I need you tonight

Yeah

How I need you, baby
See, I can't let you go
I need you
On the other side
On the other side

I love you so and I'll never let you go
On the other side

Of Montreal
The way you are now
You're never gonna make the bus
Even though everybody's so impressed
You've got "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" under your pillow
Oh-ho

I saw you spit on London
Just like you were-a Peter Pan

The way you are now
You're never gonna make it in my kitchen
Still everybody's so excited
Last I was here I was convinced I was your favorite warrior
Oh-ho

I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't want to really get to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy

You wanted me just for a holiday
Or was it to pad your resume?
What do you give me but unwanted breakthroughs?
Strange how certain details subvert everything

I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't really want to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy

O-M-G W-T-T
Aw girl, we been through hell about it
Then I see our friends and everybody's so excited
I'm standing over you eating Juicy Fruits
Till it gets in your eye and your hair
Oh-ho

I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't want to really get to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy

I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't want to really get to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy

I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't want to really get to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy

I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't want to really get to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy

May this song reach your heart
May your ears love the sweet melody
Every note, every chord
I've arranged them for you and me

May the sound of my voice
Be your guide, bring you closer to me
Let us bathe in the noise
Let the love in your heart speak to me

For now, I'll pretend
I'm holding your hand

May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song journey on to you

We met alone, forbidden in the city
Running fast through time, like Tubman and John Henry
But the time was wrong, illegal aliens moan
It's such a pity that the city's just a danger zone

Atomic blues bombing hearts like Iraqis in Babylon
And the droid control will take your soul
And rate it, berate, slay it
You hate it and debate it but you don't get caught
An outlaw outrunning the law, ha ha

May the strings make you smile
May they always remind you of me
For now let's pretend
I'm holding your hand

May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song journey on for you

[Kevin Barnes]
Confusion is a walrus
Yet there's still so much left for us to learn
I hear the riot community approaching
Take my hand, Jen, let's go talk to them

I hear the drizzle of the rain
It's fallin' from my window
And in the corners of my mind
I hope that I'll get to see you again
La-da die da-die da-die da-die, my friend

I hear the colors in the flowers, oooh
Just like the candle snuffed at dawn
You're here, you're near, you're there and then you're gone
La-da daa da-daa da-dum da-dum

Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See, I'm really lost, baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this Earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you too
Perhaps what I mean to say is
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine

Oh, Maker, tell me did you know
This love would burn so yellow
Becoming orange and in it's time
Explode from gray to black, then bloody wine?
La-da die da-die da-die da-die

Oh, Maker have you ever loved
Or known just what it was?
I can't imagine the bitter end
Of all the beauty that we're living in
Oh, no

Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See I'm pretty lost, baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this Earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you too
Perhaps what I mean to say
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine

Lost inside a lonely world where love must pay the price
Barely hear the sound of music to love and go dance to
Now it's time for us to go and no one ever knows
While I'm lookin' in your eyes
Eyes are in my, eyes in my soul
No one will know it but me

Love is such a novelty
A rarely painted masterpiece
A place few people go or ever know

An underwater rocket love
Exactly what I'm searching for
You're brave enough to go
Tell me so

Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
In the words of Dhammapada
"Who will lead? Who will follow?"

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our name in fire on each others' hearts

Love is not a fantasy
A haiku written in Japanese
A word too often used but not believed

Witness the interaction of
The flood, the sea, the sky, the dove
Time erodes the shore but not our love

Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
Or in the words of Dhammapada
"Who will lead? Who will follow?"

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our name in fire on each others' hearts

Doot-doo-doo, doo-doot doot-doo
Doot-doot-doo, doo-doot-doot doo-doo
Doot-doo-doo, doo-doot doot-doo,
Doot-doot-doo, do-doot-doot doo-doo

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our name in fire on each others' hearts

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end today (outside our window)
We'll find a way
(Let's find forever)
Name in fire on each others' hearts
Hearts

Doot-doo-doo, doo-doot doot-doo
The world could end today
Doot-doot-doo, doo-doot-doot doo doo

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
We'll find forever
Hmm

Oooh, oooh

Love is not a fantasy
It's more for you
You and me

(Ahh, ahh, ooh
You're on your way
More now than any knew
Oooh, will you go or stay and play?
Oooh)

Oooh

Sir Greendown
Come wake me in the night
The dragon wants a bite
Of our love (Of our love)

The flower and the golden hand
Wooden wings and clouds of sand
Ooh, Sir Greendown

Sir Greendown
Let's leave in an hour
Meet me at the tower
Ride your horse

Here the dolphins walk like men
Here the cyborgs rule the blue
Sir Greendown
I need your shining light

Oooh

Let's leave in an hour
Meet me at the tower
I'm in love

Big Boi
Monae and Leftfoot

Janelle Monae
Whoaaa
(Yeah, yeah)
Another day
(Dab-a-dee Nae)
I take your pain away
(Come on)

Some people talk about ya
Like they know all about ya
When you get down, they doubt ya
And when you tip it on the scene
Yeah, they talkin' bout it
'Cause they can't tip on the scene
Watcha talk about it
T-t-t-talkin' bout it
When you get elevated
They love it or they hate it
You dance up on them haters
Keep getting funky on the scene
Why they jumpin' round ya?
They trying to take all of your dreams
But you can't allow it

'Cause baby, whether you're high or low
Whether you're high or low
You got to tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
T-t-t-tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
Baby baby, whether you're high or low (High or low)
Baby, whether you're high or low (High or low)
You got to tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
Now let me see you do the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)

And I'm still tippin' on it
See I'm not walkin' on it
Or tryin' to run around it
This ain't no acrobatics
You either follow or you lead
Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout you
I'll keep on blaming the machine
Yeah, I'm talkin' bout it
T-t-t-talkin' bout it
I can't complain about it
I gotta keep my balance
And just keep dancin' on it
We gettin' funky on the scene
And you know about it
Like a star on the screen
Watch me tip all on it

Now baby, whether I'm high or low (High or low)
Baby, whether you're high or low (High or low)
You got to tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
Yeah, tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
Baby baby, whether you're high or low (High or low)
Baby, whether you're high or low (High or low)
You got to tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
Baby, let me see ya tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
And I'm still tippin' on it

Big Boi
You gotta keep your balance
Or you fall into the gap
It's a challenge but I manage
'Cause I'm cautious with the strap
Do damage to your cameras damn I thought they cannot pass
See why you don't want no friction
Like the back of a matchbook
Daddy Fat Sax will fold you and your MacBook
Closed shows, shut you down
Before we go-go backwards
Act up, and whether we high or low
We gonna get back up
Like the Dow Jones and NASDAQ
Sorta like a thong in an ass crack
Come on

Janelle Monae
I tip on alligators and little rattlesnakers
But I'm another flavor
Something like a Terminator
Ain't no equivocating
I fight for what I believe
Why you talkin' bout it?
Sh-sh-she's talkin' bout it
Some callin' me a sinner
Some callin' me a winner
I'm callin' you to dinner
And you know exactly what I mean
Yeah I'm talkin 'bout ya
You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without you

N-N-Now whether I'm high or low (High or low)
Whether I'm high or low (High or low)
I'm gonna tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
Mmmm (Tip-tip on it)
Baby baby, whether I'm high or low (High or low)
High or low (High or low)
I gotta tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
Now baby, tip on the tightrope (Tip-tip on it)
(Baa baa ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba)

You can get too high
(We can get too high)
I said you can get too low
(We can get too low)
'Cause you get too high
(You can get too high)
Now you'll surely be low
(Now you'll surely be low)
1, 2, 3, hello

Ha

Yeah (Huh)
Yeah
Now shut up! (Oww)
Yeah (Ok)
Yeah (Ok ok ok)
Now put some voodoo on it
Ladies and Gentlemen, the funkiest horn section in Metropolis
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
We call that classy brass

(I gotta keep my balance)

Ooohhhhhhh
Ooohhhhhhh
(Now, there's a thin line)
OH!
(Now, there's a thin line)

Do ya'll mind
If I play the ukulele
Just like a little lady?

Do ya'll mind
If I play the ukulele
Just like a little lady?

As I play the ukulele

Fairly late at night
I wander off into a land
You can go, but you mustn't tell a soul
There's a world inside
Where dreamers meet each other
Once you go it's hard to come back
Let me paint your canvas as you dance

Dance in the trees
(Dance) Paint mysteries
The magnificent droid plays there
(She plays there)
Your magic mind (Your magic mind)
Makes love to mine
(Makes love to mine) I think I'm in love, angel

Take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take her back to Wondaland
She thinks she left her underpants)

Oh, take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take her back to Wondaland)
Take me back
(She thinks she left her underpants)

The grass grows inside
The music floats you gently on your toes
Touch the nose, he'll change your clothes to tuxedos
Don't you freak and hide
I'll be your secret Santa, do you mind?
Don't resist
The faerie gods will have a fit
We should dance

Dance in the trees
(We'll dance) Paint mysteries
(All dance) The magnificent droid plays there
(She plays there)
Your magic mind (Your magic mind)
Makes love to mine (Makes love to mine)
I think I'm in love, angel

Take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take me back to Wondaland
She know she left her underpants)

Oh, take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take her back to Wondaland
She thinks she left her underpants)

(Hallelujah)
This is your land
(Hallelujah)
This is my land
(Hallelujah)
We belong here, stay the night
(Hallelujah)
I am so inspired
You touched my wires
My supernova's shining bright

Take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take me back to Wondaland
She thinks she left me underpants)

Take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take me back to Wondaland
She thinks she left me underpants)

Take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take you back to Wondaland
La la la la-la la-la)

Take me back to Wondaland
I gotta get back to Wondaland
(Take you back to Wondaland
You know she left her underpants)

You know I love you, baby
(This is your land)
Yes, I need you
(This is my land)
Guess I wanna know it all
(We belong here, stay the night)
Take me back, I wanna stay the night
(So inspired)
I'm so inspired, baby
(You touched my wires)
Oh

I know you wanna go

Hallelujah

drug boy said it's show time
streets don't give a damn
they filled with such pollution
the kids don't stand a chance
we're trapped inside the matrix
forced to play our hand
we're fill with so much hatred
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
well since i was planted at birth
i abandoned my own planet
and i landed on earth
as a kid i never understood
what i observed some of it was
strange but most of it disturbed me
always in detention for the
lack of my attention
you could call it deficit
really i just didn't listen
and i was always missin'
the teachers like
where is bobby simons
but tryna get a record deal is
all i can i remember
it's funny cause lookin back
on the past that i had
all my days in the streets
tryna prove that i was bad
i still elevated to the level
that i'm at still elevated
to the level that i'm at
we're trapped inside the matrix
forced to play our hand
we're fill with so much hatred
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
sometimes it's hard to grow
while livin in fear of the unknown
how can he ever give love
when no love is in his heart
a child can barely see that i
do worry bout tomorrow
and what it beholds
he drowns himself
deep down in his sorrow
will you run or will you
share your light
tell a story of the live and try
see it when we're given hope
that we know that we can grow
we're trapped inside the matrix
forced to play our hand
we're fill with so much hatred
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance
i said the kids don't
the kids don't stand
the kids don't stand a chance

[Chorus: Janelle Mone]
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be wise my dear you must, learn to just be still
Until you really really know
Show me you're right, shine your light
I wonder when will I know

[Big Boi]
To hell if I don't pray
Like a mannequin in the window I don't say
a, word - I like to sit back, observe
My heart says do not disturb, and yours
is like a doorknob, everybody get a turn (yeah)
Now that's a turnoff, girl, I'm not concerned
More like the early bird tryin to get the worm worm
But not on those terms, you got on my nerves
Say I don't deserve you, you're gonna learn
Treat it like a perm, leave it be or let it burn (burn)
Eat 'em like an urr-ange, orange
So when they on the verge of leavin it don't get borin
Foreign trips are taken
just to see your smiley faces, time's a-wastin
And I don't like to waste no time
You can be down or.. yeah

[Chorus]

[Janelle Mone]
I love bein in love (bein in love)
Then you let me down, turned my heart around
Givin up on love, makes my ocean drown
You lived in my heart
Secret melodies haunt me at night
Maybe lies and lullabies
This is my last farewell
You let me down

[Chorus]

[Big Boi]
Yeah...
From behind the Cadillac do'...
Grip this wood, slide around real slow...
Just thinkin, mind blown
As I glare through the smoke tinted windows...
And be still
[Chorus]

Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than
the empire state
my lover she's waiting for me
just across the bar
My seats been
taken by some sunglasses
asking 'bout a scar
and I know I gave it
to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
but between the
drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
you know I'm trying
hard to take it back
so if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
than the sun
Tonight
we are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun
And I know that I'm not
all that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe
we could find a ways to fall apart
But our friends in back
So let's raise a toast
Cause I found someone to carry
me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's the set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun
Tonight
We are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry
me home tonight
The angels never arrived
but I can hear the choir
so will someone come and
carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun
Tonight
We are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight
