Setting sail, Im homeward bound Full of metaphors and rhymes Thought Id find some refuge on your shores Didnt think that you would mind You treat me like Im a patient Leave me to my own demise Cast me out into an eastern wind Throw me to the raging tides Ive crashed and burned, I guess Ill have to swim No signal on the radio I bail it out, but waters pouring in And Im yelling in the microphone Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be So crazy, crazy... wont 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 its too dark to navigate I never saw it coming Oh, I didnt read the signs Youre a cut and run, Im on my own No, youll never toe the line No land in sight wont help me if I swim An SOS Im going down No way to fight against these wicked winds Still Im screaming in the microphone Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be So crazy, crazy... wont someone answer me? Mayday, mayday, baby Mayday, mayday I raise my hands to part the sea But not even Moses could save me As I capsize you stand by And salute me in my futile fight Here comes a tidal wave to drown me in my sin No signal on the radio Im overboard, my futures looking grim And Im yelling in the microphone Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be So crazy, crazy... wont someone answer me? Mayday, mayday, baby Mayday, mayday Mayday, mayday, baby Mayday, mayday Mayday, mayday
mayday, baby, crazy, microphone, sink
