Mandalay Again

Elton John

Rules and regulations, 
And real estate are things I've left behind 
Fights are always leaving 
Silver wings unfolding on a dime 
But I won't foget to tell you 
If I could only reconnect the line 
I really never knew you, but come back I'd like to find the time 

Drug and consequences 
And ferris wheels just took us up and down 
Fights were always brewing 
Two perfect understudies for a clown 
If I could piece it all together 
Or maybe find you through a friend 
Last I heard it was St. Louis 
But I wish that it was Mandalay Again 

Come back I'd like to find the time 
Plant a seed and raise a little Cain 
Come back we'll throw a rope around the moon 
And pretend that we're in Mandalay Again 

Fuel and information 
Are Siamese twins who poison everything 
Lies that left us drowing 
Rumor that burned like gasoline 
I could have read you like a book 
Instead I acted dumb and blind 
I was younger then and foolish 
Come back I'd like to find the time 

Come back I'd like to find the time 
Plant a seed and raise a little Cain 
Come back we'll throw a rope around the moon 
And pretend that we're in Mandalay again 

It it wasn't in the afterglow of wine 
Or the chatter of some European girl 
I'd have understood that after all these years 
There were those who chose to separate our worlds 
Separate our worlds 

Come back I'd like to find the time 
Plant a seed and raise a little Cain 
Come back we'll throw a rope around the moon 
And pretend that we're in Mandalay again 
And pretend that we're in Mandalay again 
We'll pretend that we're in Madalay again
