Mad Mission

Lyrics

We were drinking like the irish
 but we were drinking scotch
 bartender turned on a movie
 everybody turned to watch
 and every single eye was gleaming
 as he reached the final scene
 well, at least mine did
 here's lookin' at you, kid
 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
 I think i've seen the look before, yes,
 it's kind of non-commital
 it says come hither, baby, but then he's hard wood to whittle
 it says it don't mean a thing, but still, somebody does
 he'd like you to join the club that likes to say
 there's no such thing as love and
 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
 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
 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
 Sign me up
