  • We're self imploding
    Under the weight of your advice
    I wear a suitcase
    Under each one of my eyes

    Finally,
    I know now what it takes
    It takes money
    And aeroplanes

    If you Love me let me go
    Back to that bar in Tokyo
    Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
    (ah ah ah ah)
    Ill be animating every night
    The grass'll be greener on the other side
    And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
    (Ah ah ah ah)
    I'm sick of dancing with the beast

    Astrophysics,
    You'll never be my closest friend
    I find no comfort
    In what my mind can't comprehend

    Finally,
    I work out what it takes
    It takes money
    And aeroplanes

    If you Love me let me go
    Back to that bar in Tokyo
    Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
    (Ah ah ah ah)
    Ill be animating every night
    The grass'll be greener on the other side
    And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
    (Ah ah ah ah)
    I'm sick of dancing with the beast

    No matter how much it needs me
    Go on and follow someone else's lead

    If you Love me let me go
    Back to that bar in Tokyo
    Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
    (Ah ah ah ah)
    I'll be animating every night
    The grass'll be greener on the other side
    And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
    (Ah ah ah ah)
    I'm sick of dancing with the beast Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
