Moby - Play Lyrics






Honey

If my honey comes back sometime
I'm gonna rap that jack sometimes
Get a hump in my back sometimes
I'm going over here sometimes

Way down yonder sometimes
Gonna get my pal sometimes

Porcelain

(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)
(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
Then I wake, it's kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye?
This is goodbye

(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)
(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)

Tell the truth, you've never wanted me
Tell me

In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
When I wake, I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind

(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)
(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)
(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)
(Hey, hey, hey, woman, it's alright)

South Side

[ Featuring Gwen Stefani ]

See myself in the pouring home
See the light come over now
See myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me

Yeah, yeah
Here we are now, going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night, we ride all day
Some may come and some may stay

Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me

Yeah, yeah
Here we are now going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day
Where there's love and darkness and my sidearm

Hey, elan

Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day

Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
Come back and feel so well.

Rushing

You'll be my New Year's Day, my Valentine
Now I ain't gonna stop until I make you mine
You'll be my April Fool, my Mardi Gras
The music on my tongue when I sing fa la la

You'll be my flower child, in the month of May
My sunny summer lover on my holiday
You'll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween
The winter snow and everything that's in between

This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone
This year, this Christmas together
And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly

This year, this Christmas forever (ooh)
And the weeks and the months go rushing by
This year we've learned how to live
How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, ohh ooh

Just love this Christmas, this year
You'll be my spring ahead, my fall behind
The shimmy on my hips oh when I, bump and grind
You'll be my Santa Boy, all dressed in red

And ride that little reindeer all through my head
Oh ooh, oh oh oh
Here we go, oh oh oh oh
Ohh yeah

This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone
This year, this Christmas together (ooh)
And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly

This year, this Christmas forever, ohh ooh
And the weeks and the months go rushing by
This year we have learned how to live
How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, ohh ooh

Just love this Christmas, this year, oh ooh
This year I pray for you, uh
And I thank God for you
Just wanna be with you

This year that's all I wanna do
Day by day, I'm gonna get my way
This year I pray for you
Seasons turn, I've got a lot to learn

And I thank God for you
Now this year I'm gonna, gonna, gonna take you home
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
This year, (oh this year) this Christmas together (ohh...)

And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly
This year, this Christmas forever (forever, forever)
And the weeks and the months go rushing by
Now this year we have learned how to live

How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, ooh oh
Just love, ooh ohh
This year we have learned how to live
How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, ohh ooh oh oh oh
Just love this Christmas, this year

Machete

Yesterday I felt so cold I felt like I could die
Took the needles from my arms and put them to the sky
Watched the cold come take me pull me down like I did know
I saw it gone

Hold myself up til tomorrow holds me down again
Feel the darkness coming over see how it begins
Come with me into the willow garden out tonight
Feel the darkness come my moon will touch you with its light

Help me life was over love I want to had you in my sights
See and I was overlooked I had you in my hands
Like a lid of no survivors nothing I don't mind
Help me broken baby help me break you with my mind.

Run On

Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
my head got wet in midnight dew
great God i been down on my bended knees
talking to a man from galilee
michael spoke and he sound so sweet
i thought i heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
great God Almighty let me tell you what He said

[bridge:]

go tell that lonesome liar
go tell that midnight rider
tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider
tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

[chorus:]

you might run on for a long time
run on, ducking and dodging
run on, children (?), for a long time
let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

you might throw your rock, hide your head
work in the dark with your fellow men
sure as God made you rich and poor
you're gonna reap just what you sow

[chorus x3]

(you might run
what is the real thing ?
run
what is the real thing ?
come on)

some people go to church just to sit in the fire
trying to make a date with a neighbor's wife
brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
you better leave that woman alone

[bridge]

If Things Were Perfect

{sample: "give me summer" x2}

{sample: "give me summer" x2}

broken darkness my cold end
i look for places i've never seen
nothing moves but the quiet on the street
now I open my eyes to this
isolated walking long hard hours
winter cold just brings me winter showers
it's so brutal with the cold sky
wrapped in cold late at night

{sample: "give me summer" x2}

come clean, there's no sun yet
the only lights here are made
i can't speak, i can't hear, but i know i'm real
there's no warm here anyway
the darkest lights before the dawn
you remember the sun but it sank
in the water that eats the light
wrapped in cold, late at night

{sample: "give me summer" x2}

i open my eyes, it's cold
the only souls go by
lift the bridge out of the water
the stone black light
living is easy when it's night
the cold has covered the rain
i can see forever, to the deep
wrapped in cold, late at night

{sample: "give me summer" x4}

The Sky Is Broken

See the storm has broken
In the middle of the night
Nothing left here for me
It's washed away

The rain pushes the buildings aside
The sky turns black
The sky, wash it far
Push it out to sea
There's nothing left here for me
I watch it lift up to the sky
I watch it crush me, then I die

Speak to me baby
In the middle of the night
Pull your mouth close to mine
I can see the wind coming down
Like black night

So speak to me
Like the winds outside
It's broken up, pushing us

Hear the rain fall
See the wind come to my eyes
See the storm broken
Now nothing

Speak to me baby
In the middle of the night
Speak to me
Hold your mouth to mine

'Cause the sky is breaking
It's deeper than love
I know the way you feel
Like the rains outside
Speak to me

Back to: Moby


Play is the fifth studio album by American electronic musician Moby. It was released on May 17, 1999, through Mute Records internationally and V2 Records in North America. Recording of the album began in mid-1997, following the release of Moby's fourth album, Animal Rights (1996), which deviated from his electronica style; Moby's goal for Play was to return to electronica, blending downtempo with blues and roots music samples. Originally intended to be his final record, the album was recorded at Moby's home studio in Manhattan.

While some of Moby's earlier work had garnered critical and commercial success within the electronic dance music scene, Play was both a critical success and a commercial phenomenon. Initially issued to lackluster sales, it topped numerous album charts months after its release and was certified platinum in more than 20 countries. The album introduced Moby to a worldwide mainstream audience, not only through a large number of hit singles that helped the album to dominate worldwide charts for two years, but also through unprecedented licensing of its songs in films, television shows, and commercials. Play eventually became the biggest-selling electronica album of all time, with over 12 million copies sold worldwide, and became Moby's breakthrough album.

In 2003 and 2012, Play was ranked number 341 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
