The Refreshments - Mekong lyrics
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
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
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
