Gnarls Barkley – Online Lyrics 17 years ago
It's also important to note Cee-Lo's tone throughout the song. At first he speaks more in a gritty, nasally voice that is meant to simulate the mind of a coke user. After saying "even when you're falling/just pretend you're flying/when ya on the line," he changes to a singing voice that is clear and loud. This last verse seems to shifted perspectives, which is apparent through is change in tone. He begins to talk to the coke user instead of as the coke user, saying "Lets keep it friendly and we'll be just fine/But don't cross that line." 'That line' being the imaginary line that the coke user has crossed by taking the drug, comically paralleling the fact that coke is taken in lines.
