The Road To Mandalay
Save me from drowning in the seaBeat me up on the beach
What a lovely holidayThere's nothing funny left to sayThis sombre song would drain the sunBut it won't shine until it's sung
No water running in the streamThe saddest place we've ever seen
Everything I touched was goldenEverything I loved got brokenOn the road to MandalayEvery mistake I've ever madeHas been rehashed and then replayedAs I got lost along the way
There's nothing left for you to giveThe truth is all that you're left withTwenty paces then at dawnWe will die and be reborn
I like to sleep beneath the treesHave the universe at one with meLook down the barrel of a gunAnd feel the Moon replace the Sun
Everything we've ever stolenHas been lost returned or brokenNo more dragons left to slayEvery mistake I've ever madeHas been rehashed and then replayedAs I got lost along the way
Save me from drowning in the seaBeat me up on the beachWhat a lovely holidayThere's nothing funny left to say
