The Road to Mandalay

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 seen

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
