Mandalay

Oh mommy mommy
Oh mommy mommy, yeah
I stood too near the gaslight and I cried
The dirty city mist had seeped too deep inside
It took me on some kind of heady ride
It's only Charlie Parker died
And I don't want, I don't want
And I don't want the night to end
Oh daddy daddy
Oh daddy daddy, yeah
Waiting half my life on platforms underground
The other half I wasted as a desperate clown
My problem now is that you're not around
In dark delicious dreams of you I'll drown
And I, I don't want
I don't want the night to end
Oh baby baby
Oh baby baby baby baby baby, yeah
Wrapped around your soul is where I wanna be
But in the night blue music's all I seem to see
The drunks out in the rain down on one knee
And what, and what is to become of you and me
And I don't want
I don't want the night to end
I don't want, I don't want
I don't want the night to end
I don't want the night to end
I don't want the night to end
