Gnarls Barkley - Going On

Going On
I’ve seen it with my own eyes
How we’re gettin’ otherwise
Without the luxury of leavin’
The touch and feeling of free is
Untangible technically
Something you’ve got to believe in
Connect the cause and effect
One foot in front of the next
This is the start of a journey
And my mind is already gone
And though there are other unknowns
Somehow this doesn’t concern me

And you can stand right there if you want
But I’m going on
And I’m prepared to go it alone
I’m going on
To a place in the sun that’s nice and warm
I’m going on
And I’m sure they’ll have a place for you too

Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need
I want nothing to do with
And to do what I want
And to do what I please
Is first of my to-do list
But every once in a while I think about her smile
One of the few things I do miss
But baby I‘ve to go
Baby I’ve got to know
Baby I’ve got to prove it

And I’ll see you when you get there
But I’m going on
And I’m prepared to go it alone
I’m going on
May my love lift you up to the place you belong
I’m going on
And I promise I’ll be waiting for you

Gnarls Barkley - Charity case

Oh, ahhhh (4x)
Give, give, give it away now
Give, give, give it away now
Give it away now I, I, I

I don’t know what matters to
you at this moment
But that’s all that matters to me
How are you? (How are you?)
Knock on wood
Well I’m not doin so good
(I bet you pro-ba-bly couldn’t tell)
(I’m not yet with it, I’m still not well)
And I don’t understand how
I’m so understandin
I guess that that’s all I can be
How are you? (How are you?)
I think I can help
But I can’t help myself
(Shouldn’t I be happy? You need my help)
(I usually just talk, to myself)

Oh can’t you see, oh can’t you see
If I help somebody, baby there’s
mercy for me
Ah charity! (And you, for you)
(One, for you, and you, and you)

Now all apologies baby but I’m bleedin too
Are you needin me like I’m needin you
Even my shadow leaves me all alone at night
Guess I need to start to take my own advice

Oh can’t you see, oh can’t you see
Somebody’s a liar who ever
set free what was free
Ahhh charity!

Oh, ahhhh (4x)
Give, give, give it away now
Give, give, give it away nowwwwwwwww
Give it away nowwwwwwwww

Give it away now
Whooooo! Alright Yeahhhhhhh
I want to be your baby
Charity!! You better give it to somebody

Gnarls Barkley - Blind Mary

She has never seen the sunshine
yet she’s getting along just fine
She’s not staying, she’s just passing through
Hey, do you mind if I follow you?
You

I love Mary
Blind Mary marry me
I love Mary

I heard her voice say catch me if you can
Before you know it I was holding her hand
It’s harder to imagine then understand
how she knows exactly who I am

I love Mary
blind Mary marry me
I love Mary

She’s my friend, she doesn’t judge me
She has no idea I’m ugly
So I’ve absolutely nothing to hide
Because I’m so much prettier inside

I love Mary
Blind Mary marry me
I love Mary
Blind Mary follow me

Gnarls Barkley - A little better

Now I can sing you the story line
And if you like my story fine
But ain’t none of the glory mine
See my life was a lonely one
And I was still momma only son
With no idea of what I’m gonna become
And didn’t have long to know
That you don’t have to be grown to go
I could have died so long before
Then I finally saw the sign
And I made it on down the line
One step at a time

I feel a lil better
I can smile at it now
I feel a lil better
Oh better
And even a little is still a lil better
Oh have mercy on me

Ooh it’s probably plain to see
That I got a whole lot of pain in me
And it will always remain in me
So cold it’s a crying shame
Yet here I am trying again
Cause I refuse to die in vein
The circumstances put soul in me
And there ain’t no holding me
I’ve got a heart made of gold in me
Can you believe this is where I’ve been
And when adversity comes again
I’ll deal with it then

I feel a lil better
I can laugh at it now
I feel a lil better
Oh better
And even a little is still a lil better
Oh have mercy on me

I said every thing’s fine you can take your time
What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin’
I would wanna just feel this a one more time
I said every thing’s fine you can take your time
What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin’
I would wanna just feel this a one more time

I wanna thank you morning sun
I wanna thank you lowly dirt
Now I know I’m not the only one
I, I wanna thank you friendly ghost
When all the calls were close
It seems like you care the most
I, I wanna thank you mom and dad
For hurting me so bad
But you’re the best I ever had
I, I wanna thank you

Gnarls Barkley - Run

Yeah its still the same
Can’t you feel the pain
When the needle hits the vein
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
I’ve seen it once before
And oh it’s something else
Good god

Cool breeze come on in
Sunshine come on down
These are the tear drops of the clown
Circus is coming to town
All I’m saying is sometimes I’m more scared of myself
You better
move
I said
move

Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Run for your life
Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Here it comes
I said run
Alright

Yeah I’m on the run
See where I’m coming from
When you see me coming run
Before you see what I’m running from
No time for question asking time is passing by
Alright

You can’t win child
We’ve all tried to
You’ve been lied to
It’s all ready inside you
Either you run right now
Or you best get ready to die
You better
move
I said
