12-bar intro
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 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.
Chorus:
Well, is it true it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while.
Well, as clich� 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.
8-bar break
Verse 2:
Barkeep, we need to go around again,
One for me and what's his name, my new best friend.
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 4 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.
Repeat chorus
8-bar guitar solo
Repeat chorus, except change last line to
�Thank you for your time�
Outro:
Well, as clich� 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, mmmm-hmmm.
Here's to life.
Here's to life again.
