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 (Pom pom pom...) 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 (Pom pom pom...) (Pom pom pom...) Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday There's nothing funny left to say.
