Like a king without a crown
|
As the curtain comes down
|
I went home but I came back for more
|
I was sad as a clown
|
|
I, I would rather steal than borrow
|
You and your heart away
|
I, I would rather lead than follow
|
The road to Mandalay
|
|
Since the first world war
|
You’ve seen it all for 50 years or more
|
Your face is tired
|
In your steps there is a crack where
|
People’s dreams keep falling in
|
|
And I, I would rather steal than borrow
|
You and your heart away
|
I, I would rather lead than follow
|
The road to Mandalay
|
|
As the sky threatens
|
Another land beckons
|
We can’t take it anymore
|
Have to know once and for all
|
Do we stand or do we fall
|
|
But I, I would rather steal than borrow
|
You and your heart away
|
And I, I would rather lead than follow
|
The road to Mandalay
|
The road to Mandalay
