[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...
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...
