Bangkok!
oriental setting
and the city donand't know what the city is getting
the créme de la créme of the chess world in a
show with everything but yul brynner
Time flies doesnand't seem a minute
since the tyrolean spa has the chess boys in it
all change domand't you know that when you
play at this level thereand's no ordianry venue
Itand's iceland or the philippines or hastings or this place
One night in bankok and the worldsand's your oyster
the bars are temples but the pearls ainand't free
youand'll find a god in every golden cloister
and if youand're lucky then the godand's a she
i can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town is very like another
when you headand's down over your pieces brother
Tea girls warm and sweet (warm sweet)
some are set up in the somerset maugham suite
get thaiand'd youand're talking to a tourist
whose every moveand's among the purest
i get my kicks above the waistline sunshine
One night in bankok makes a hard man humble
not much between despair and ecstasy
one night in bankok an the tough guys tumble
canand't bee to careful with your comapny
i can feel the devil walking next to me
Siamand's gotta be the witness
to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
this grips me more than would a
muddy old river or reclining buddha
And thank god iand'm only watching the game
controlling it
I donand't see you guys rating
the kind of mate iand'm contemplating
iand'd let you watch i would invite you
but the queens wee use would not excite you
So youand'd better go back to your bars
your temples
your massage parlours
One night in bankok and the worldsand's your oyster
the bars are temples but the pearls ainand't free
youand'll find a god in every golden cloister
a little flesh a little history
i can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in bankok makes a hard man humble
not much between despair and ecstasy
one night in bankok an the tough guys tumble
canand't bee to careful with your comapny
i can feel a devil walking next to me
