[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
And I say break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break...
And I say break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break...

[Verse 2]
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...

[Chorus]
Break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break...
Break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break...
[Bridge]
When the whole world descends on me
I'll be waiting for you...

[Verse 3]
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...

[Chorus]
Break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break...

[Bridge]
(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...
[Interlude]
(Break, break...)
(Break, break...)
(Break, break...)
(Break, break...)

[Outro]
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...
