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
