The Refreshments - Mekong lyrics

rate me

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
