Mekong Songtext
von The Refreshments

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
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
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
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 in the door
Another four 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
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
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

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