Mad Mission

[Verse 1]

We were drinking like the Irish

But we were drinking Scotch

Bartender turns on a movie

Everybody turned to watch

And every single eye was gleaming

When they reached the final scene

Well, at least mine did

"Here's lookin' at you, kid"

[Chorus]

You know it's a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it

To the loving cup

It's a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Mad, mad mission

Sign me up

[Verse 2]

I think I've seen the look before

Yes, it's kind of non-committal

It says "come hither, baby"

But then is hard wood to whittle

It says it don't mean a thing

But still, somehow it does

He'd like you to join the club that likes to say

There's no such thing as love

[Chorus]

It's a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it

To the loving cup

It's a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Mad, mad mission

Sign me up

[Bridge]

Sometimes you find yourself

Flying low at night

Flying blind and looking for

Any sign of light

You're cold and scared

And all alone

You'd do anything

Just to make it home

[Chorus]

It's a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it

To the loving cup

It's a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Mad, mad mission

Sign me up

[Outro]

Sign me up
