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
