Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday, there's nothing funny left to say
[Verse 2]
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won't shine until it's sung
Now water running in the stream, the saddest place we've ever seen
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
There's nothing left for you to give
The truth is al that you're left with
Twenty paces then at dawn we will die and be reborn
[Verse 5]
I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down at the barrel of a gun, and feel the moon replace the sun
[Verse 6]
Everything we've been 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
[Verse 7]
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday, there's nothing funny left to say
