Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There s nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won t shine until it s sung
No water running in the stream
The saddest place we ve ever been
Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake I ve ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
There s nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you re left with
Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn
I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the Moon replace the Sun
Everything we ve ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake I ve ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There s nothing funny left to say |
