Mekong

Barkeep, another Mekong please
Yes, of course, you can keep the change
A new glass here for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I forgot your name
Flip a coin, what shall we talk about?
Heads, I tell the truth, and tails, I lie
Well, I came all the way from Taipei today
Now Bangkok's pouring rain and I'm going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles

But is it true it's always happy hour here?
And, if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well, as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Barkeep, we need to go around again
One for me and what's-his-name, my new best friend
So, deal me in and I'll pick my cards up off the floor
I'll see a lucky coin and raise a pack of lies
Smile to the girl at the door, another four dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes, she'll break your heart
We came all the way from Taipei today
Still, Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl in fifteen thousand miles

Well, is it true it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well, as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Well is it true it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well, as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
Well, as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life
Here's to life
Here's to life
Here's to life
Again
