  • Celebrate the passing drugs
    Put them on the back seat while
    They're coursing in your blood

    'Cause there are monsters oh
    Walking down Argyle Street
    Where the evening colors go (it's true)

    I had a dream that you were leaving
    It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on
    And nothing is in your eyes

    I had a dream that you were leaving
    Where every atom falling in the universe
    Is passing through our minds

    Press yourself to me right now
    Push yourself deep down now
    To the dark hills I must go
    Where the shadows hide
    Waiting for the final call
    It's coming down the line

    I had a dream that you were leaving
    It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on
    And nothing is in your eyes

    I had a dream that you were leaving
    Where every atom falling in the universe
    Is passing through our minds

    I had a dream that you were leaving
    I had a dream that you were leaving
    It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on
    And nothing is in your eyes

    I had a dream that you were leaving
    Where every atom falling in the universe
    Is passing through our minds

    I had a dream that you were leaving
    I had a dream that you were leaving Writer/s: DAMON ALBARN, RICHARD RUSSELL
