Mandalay Again - Elton John, Leon Russell

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
