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
