Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves)

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 airplanes
Chorus
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 will 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 airplanes
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 ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go and follow someone else's lead
Chorus
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 will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
