Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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've forgot your name
Flip a coin
What shall we talk about?
Heads I tell the truth, the tails I lie
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
But is it true
It's always happy hour here?
If it is I'd like to stay awhile
Well, as cliché 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
[Verse 4]
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
We'll smile to the girl in the door
Another four dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes she'll break your heart
[Verse 5]
Well, we came all the way
From Taipei today
Still Bangkok's pissing rain
And we're going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl
For fifteen thousand miles
[Verse 6]
Well, is it true it's always happy hour here?
And if it is I'd like to stay awhile
Well as cliché 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
[Verse 7]
Well, is it true it's always happy hour here?
And if it is I'd like to stay awhile
Well, as cliché 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
[Verse 8]
Well, as cliché 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
