[man:]
  I saw you yesterday
  your eyes were the color
  of some kind of grey.
  I hear what you're saying
  please, don't let me go
  I've got all the people
  down below.
  they rush to talk; they rush to say
  man overboard...
  may day...may day... may day...
  troubles are brought back by you
  funny how we, we go down
  we go anywhere, but to the ground
    [woman:]
  so I hear that you're doing fine
  you've flown all those planes
  that have been on your mind.
  I can't understand
  I don't need to know
  I'll speek to you through this radio.
  they rush to talk; they rush to say
  man overboard...
  may day...may day... may day...
  troubles are brought back by you
  funny how we, we go down
  we go anywhere, but to the ground
  they rush to talk; they rush to say
  there's a man and he's overboard.
