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 guess i'll have to swim
mayday. this ship is gonna sink
crazy. won't someone answer me?
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
you'll never toe the line
no land in sight; won't help me if i swim
no way to fight against these wicked winds
mayday. this ship is gonna sink
crazy. won't someone answer me?
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
and i'm yelling in the microphone
mayday. this ship is gonna sink
crazy. won't someone answer me?
