THE WOMBATS
"Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)"
(Dan Haggis / Matthew Murphy / Tord Overland-Knudsen)

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
Finally, I know now what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes

[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-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I'll be animated 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-ah, ah, ah-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

[Pre-Chorus:]
Finally, I work out what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes

[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-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I'll be animated 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-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast

[Bridge:]
No matter how much it needs me
Go and follow someone else's lead
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

[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-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I'll be animated 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-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast

[Outro:]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
