Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
Theres nothing funny left to say

This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won´t shine until its sung

No water running in the stream
The saddest place we´ve ever seen

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

[Refrain]

There´s nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you´ve 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

[Refrain]

Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
Theres nothing funny left to say
