 F   Gx3
AAnd this world is just Bmatoms, spinning sloAwly
Other people are sGhadows, lDost and loAnely
BAmut they're giving us Gmrules to follow
And they're giving us lies to swallow
FLet's break away tonGight
There's a place where we can Fmeet
Let's slip into the nGight
My car has got two seFats
Let's break away toGnight
You and Ame
And this world is an apple, rotting slowly
Other people are cattle, dying lonely
But they're giving us rules to follow
And they're giving us shit to swallow
Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
The planet's at our feet
Let's break away tonight
You and me
And this world is an apple, rotting slowly
Other people are cattle, dying lonely
Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
My car has got two seats
Let's break away tonight
You and me
Let's break away tonight
You and me
