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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] is all that you're left with 
Twenty places 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
