Tokyo Police Club - Favourite Food Lyrics

With a heart attack on your plate
You were looking back on your days
How you spend them all in a blur
When they asked if you were for sure

Let the sugar melt down your throat
Cause you know it's sweet getting old
With a lollipop and a rope
Let the hospital be a home

Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast

In the lighter notes at the end
Some familiar names in the tiny print
On the cover page of the year
Grainy photographs, greasy hair

But it's noon o'clock and you're still asleep
And your coffee's cold, your coffee's icy
Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast

Classic Hollywood is a kid
With the volume up all the way
Now you do the same and you're right
things are better in black and white

But there's another girl and another day
And your favourite foods still taste the same
Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast

When the best and the brightest turn the televisions on
And your seat belt's strapped and your helmet's on
