Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

What did The Wombats say about "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)"?

“I don’t think we consciously thought we’d make a synth-pop-whatever record. It just happened. There are a lot more keyboards and I didn’t play as much guitar. It’s quite an angsty, anxious song, wanting to run away from everything. A lot of our songs are escapist, I think.” – Matthew Murphy, Digita...
