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
