Janelle Monae - Metropolis, Suite I : The Chase [ep] (2008) by Janelle Monae (보컬) on maniadb.com

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

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

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
