Magic City
Gorillaz Lyrics

I'm on the high ridge looking down
I have a superior vantage point and can see everything below me.

While we're evolving, I get old
Despite life progressing forward and evolving, I still age and become weaker.

If I get back then I'll be grateful
I will show appreciation for the opportunity to return to a place or situation.

Look there's a billboard on the moon
Someone has advertised their product or message in a place where no one can see it.

Let me take you this far
Allow me to guide you up until this point.

This crossing isn't much to me
This obstacle is insignificant or manageable to me.

There's lightning in the storm clouds
Electricity can be seen in the clouds indicating that a storm is approaching.

And I'll send you there to stay
I will ensure that you are settled into your destination.

You got me lost in Magic City
I'm feeling disoriented and confused by the city's charm and mystery.

You got me questioning it all
I'm starting to doubt everything I thought I knew about myself and the world around me.

I hope that I make it home by Wednesday
I have a deadline in mind for whenever I return home.

And this Magic City lets me go
When I'm ready to leave, the city will allow me to do so.

You put me up here in the penthouse
You have given me a luxurious home in a desirable location.

And painted me in red, white and blue
You have adorned me in patriotic colors which could imply a sense of pride or nationalism.

I filled the canyons with my ego
I've let my confidence and self-importance fill the empty spaces of this place.
