Mandalay Lyrics

Mandalay lyrics

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.
