The Road to 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 sayThis sombre song won't drain the sun
But it won't shine until it's sung
No water running in the stream, the saddest place we've everseenEverything I touched was golden,
Everything I loved got broken
On the raod to mandalayEvery mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the wayBom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badomThere'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 rebornI 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 sunEverything we've ever stolen
Has been lost, returned or broken,
No more dragons left to slayEvery mistake I've ever made

Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the wayBom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badomBom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badomSave me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday, there's nothing funny left to say
