Tokyo Police Club - Favourite Food Lyrics

With a heart attack on your plane
You were looking back on your days
How you spent 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 rose
Let the hospital be your home

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

In the liner notes at the end
Some familiar names in 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

Kids far too fast

Classic Hollywood as 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

We're the best and the brightest
Turn the televisions on
Have your seat belts strapped
And your helmets on
