Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
Csus Thereґs nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it wonґt shine until itґs sung
No [bad word] in the stream
Csus The saddest place weґve ever been

Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken

On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake Iґve ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
Pam-pam-pam-pa-da-da-pam-pam
Pam-pam-pam-pa-da-da-pam-pam
Pam-pam-pam-pa-da-da-pam-pam
Pam-pa-dam

Thereґs nothing left for you to give
The [bad word] is all that youґre 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 weґve ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake Iґve 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
Thereґs nothing funny left to say.
