I've got a lover back in Japan He's got tatooes, he's my Superman I try to call him up from time to time We can talk about the weather Is the weather fine? And I say break, break Break away those ties Break, break And I say break, break Break away those ties Break, break I've got a lover up in outer space He's been tumbling around all over the place I like to call him from time to time We can talk about heaven Break, break Break away those ties Break, break Break, break Break away those ties Break, break When the whole world descends on me I'll be waiting for you Got another lover in Timbuktu Got a name for him, he's my little guru When I don't call him he starts to cry I have to tell him stories just to pacify And I say Break, break Break away those ties Break, break (Break, break) When the whole world descends on me (Break, break) (Break, break) (Break, break) When the whole world descends on me (Break, break) I'll be waiting for you (Break, break) (Break, break) (Break, break) (Break, break) I was bitter when I met you I was eloquent with rage Like honey from a poisoned cup I flowed from stage to stage I was bitter when I met you I was eloquent with rage Like honey from a poisoned cup I flowed from stage to stage I was eloquent with rage Like honey from a poisoned cup I flowed from stage to stage Sugar baby, sing me a lullaby Japanese baby
