Mayday
Buzz Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might say I'm blind
Through these eyes it's hazy
But I can read your mind
[CHORUS]
Run away another day tonight I'm gonna take you home
Hollow in the hemisphere the stars are falling down like stones
I am standing all alone
Callin' for a mayday
Callin' for a mayday
Hey! Hey! Hey!
You might say I'm lazy
But I wrote this song
You might think I'm crazy
But my game is strong
[CHORUS]
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, I'm gonna take you home
Ready, ready, ready, rockin' the boat with bone
Steady, steady, steady, we gonna flow upstream
Lady, lady, lady, I'm gonna make you cream
[Lyrics & Music by Tripper]
