Current song lyrics
- OVERTURE -<br /><br />[COMPANY]<br />One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble,<br />Not much between despair and ecstasy.<br />One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble,<br />Can't be too careful with your company.<br />I can feel the devil walking next to me.<br /><br />[THE AMERICAN]<br />Bangkok, oriental setting,<br />And the city don't know what the city is getting.<br />The creme de la creme of the chess world,<br />In a show with everything but Yul Brynner.<br /><br />Time flies, doesn't seem a minute,<br />Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it.<br />All changed, don't you know that when you,<br />Play at this level there's no ordinary venue.<br /><br />It's Iceland... or the Philippines... or Hastings... or... or this place!<br /><br />[COMPANY]<br />One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster.<br />The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free.<br />You'll find a god in every golden cloister,<br />And if you're lucky, then the god's a she.<br />I can feel an angel sliding up to me.<br /><br />[THE AMERICAN]<br />One town's very like another,<br />When your head's down over your pieces, brother.<br /><br />[COMPANY]<br />It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity,<br />To be looking at the board, not looking at the city.<br /><br />[THE AMERICAN]<br />Whaddya mean?<br />Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town...<br /><br />[COMPANY]<br />Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet,<br />Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite.<br /><br />[THE AMERICAN]<br />Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist,<br />Whose every move's among the purest.<br />I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.<br /><br />[COMPANY]<br />One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble,<br />Not much between despair and ecstasy.<br />One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble,<br />Can't be too careful with your company.<br />I can feel the devil walking next to me.<br /><br />- INTERLUDE -<br /><br />[THE AMERICAN]<br />Siam's gonna be the witness,<br />To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness.<br />This grips me more than would a<br />Muddy old river or reclining Buddha.<br /><br />And thank god, I'm only watching the game, controlling it.<br /><br />I don't see you guys rating,<br />The kind of mating I'm contemplating.<br />I'd let you watch, I would invite you,<br />But the queens we use would not excite you.<br /><br />So, you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours.<br /><br />[COMPANY]<br />One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster.<br />The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free.<br />You'll find a god in every golden cloister,<br />A little flesh, a little history.<br />I can feel an angel sliding up to me.<br /><br />One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble,<br />Not much between despair and ecstasy.<br />One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble,<br />Can't be too careful with your company.<br />I can feel the devil walking next to me.
