The Road to Mandalay

Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-badom 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 Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-badom There's nothing left for you to give The truth is all that you're left with 20 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 then 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 Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Bom-badom Bom-bom-bom, ba-da-dup-bom-bom Ba-da-da-da-da, dup-bom-bom Bom-bom-bom, da-da-da-da-da Bom-badom
