Mayday

Setting sail, I'm homeward bound

Full of metaphors and rhymes

Thought I'd find some refuge on your shores

Didn't think that you would mind

You treat me like I'm a patient

Leave me to my own demise

Cast me out into an eastern wind

Throw me to the raging tides

I've crashed and burned, I guess I'll have to swim

(No signal on the radio)

I bail it out, but water's pouring in

(And I'm yelling in the microphone)

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink

Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be

So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me?

Mayday, mayday, baby

Mayday, mayday

Adrift alone on wayward seas

Try to follow in your wake

I know I should get back on course

But it's too dark to navigate

I never saw it coming

Oh, I didn't read the signs

You're a cut and run, I'm on my own

No, you'll never toe the line

No land in sight; won't help me if I swim

(An SOS I'm going down)

No way to fight against these wicked winds

(Still I'm screaming in the microphone)

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink

Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be

So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me?

Mayday, mayday, baby
