Lyrics The Refreshments

The Refreshments

Mekong

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 as 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

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

Well, 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 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

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
