Mad mission

We were drinking like the Irish
But we were drinking scotch
Bartender turned on a movie
Everybody turned to watch
And every single eye was gleaming
As he reached the final scene
Well, at least mine did
Here´s lookin´ at you, kid
It´s a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It´s a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
I think I´ve seen the look before,yes,
it´s kind of non-commital
It says come hither, baby, but then he´s hard wood to whittle
it says it don´t mean a thing, but still, somebody does
He´d like you to join the club that likes to say
there´s no such thing as love and
It´s a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It´s a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
Sometimes you find yourself
flying low at night
Flying blind and looking for
Any sign of light
You´re cold and scared, and all alone
You´d do anything just to make it home
It´s a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It´s a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
Sign me up
But we were drinking scotch
Bartender turned on a movie
Everybody turned to watch
And every single eye was gleaming
As he reached the final scene
Well, at least mine did
Here´s lookin´ at you, kid
It´s a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It´s a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
I think I´ve seen the look before,yes,
it´s kind of non-commital
It says come hither, baby, but then he´s hard wood to whittle
it says it don´t mean a thing, but still, somebody does
He´d like you to join the club that likes to say
there´s no such thing as love and
It´s a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It´s a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission

Flying blind and looking for
Any sign of light

You´d do anything just to make it home
It´s a mad mission

To the loving cup
It´s a mad mission

Mad, mad mission
