Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Mekong Lyrics

Barkeep
Another Mekong please
Yes of course you can keep the change
A new glass here for this new friend o' mine
Forgive me I forgot your name
So 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 pourin' rain and I'm goin' 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 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

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 lies
Smile to the girl at the door another four dollar whore
But don't look her in the eye she'll break your heart
We came all the way from Taipei today
Still Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're goin' blind again
And I haven't seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles

Well is it true it's always happy hour here?
And if it is I'd like to stay stay stay a while

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
