Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
[Verse 2]
Finally, I know now what it takes
It takes money and airplanes
[Verse 3]
If you love me, let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
[Verse 4]
I'll be animated every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves
Won't sink their teeth
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
[Verse 5]
Astrophysics
You'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort
In what my mind can't comprehend
[Verse 6]
Finally I work out what it takes
It takes money and airplanes
[Verse 7]
If you love me, let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
[Verse 8]
I'll be animated every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves
Won't sink their teeth
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
[Verse 9]
No matter how much it needs me
Go and follow someone else's lead
[Verse 10]
If you love me, let me go
Back to that BAR IN TOKYO
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
[Verse 11]
I'll be animated every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves
Won't sink their teeth
I'm sick of dancing with the BEAST
