It's a beautiful day in this town
Out in the square little children dance 'round and 'round and 'round
The sun shining bright and it lights up the crowd
But on this beautiful day I see a menacing cloud
I'm holding on but I feel that somethings wrong
You can't hide that look in your eyes
Mayday, mayday, mayday. Ship is going down
It's mayday, mayday, mayday. Turn it around.
And you act like nothings wrong but we're headed for a storm
I can't keep control for very long
The oceans are high and the waters are rough
I've thrown you a line but it isn't enough
Spinning out of control and I'm thinking we'll sink
At the end of our ropes and perched on the brink
I'm holding on but I feel that somethings wrong
You can't hide that look on your face
Mayday, mayday, mayday. Ship is going down
It's mayday, mayday, mayday. Turn it around.
And you act like nothings wrong but we're headed for a storm
I can't keep control for very long
I'm holding on but I feel that somethings wrong
You can't hide that look in your eyes
Mayday, mayday, mayday. Ship is going down
It's mayday, mayday, mayday. Turn it around.
And you act like nothings wrong but we're headed for a storm
I can't keep control for very long
