Lyrics

It's just like the movies, I eat from the trees
If I do not open the curtains then I cannot see
All the people run by, all the people run by
All the people run by, all the people run
By

My heart eats beats-t- ts, eats-t- ts, beats-t- ts
My heart eats beats-t- ts, eats-t- ts, beats-t- ts
My heart eats beats, my heart eats love -t- t
'ove-t- t, ahhhve-t- t, 'ove-t- t, ahhve-t- t, 'ove-t- t
Ah-ah- ah-ahhhve

You are mistaken cause I do not bite
Over the Williamsburg bridge on a bike
And if he loves me then why does he leave?
And if he loves me then why does he lea—
Lea-ee-ee-ooh-dee-no
Aah-de-da-de-da-aaaah

My heart eats beats-t- ts, eats-t- ts, beats-t- ts
My heart eats beats-t- ts, eats-t- ts, beats-t- ts
My heart eats beats, my heart eats love -t- t
'ove-t- t, ahhhve-t- t, 'ove-t- t, ahhve-t- t, love-t- t
'ove-t- t, ah-ah- ah-ahhhve

Don't say goodbye like you're burying him
Cause the world is round and he might return
Don't say goodbye like you're burying him
Cause the world is round and he might re—

But if he loves me then why does he leave?
And if he loves me then why does he lea—
Lea-ee-ee-ooh-dee-no
Aah-de-da-de-da-aaaah

Don't say goodbye like you're burying him
Cause the world is round and he might return
Don't say goodbye like you're burying him
Cause the world is round and he might return
