one night in Bangkok

A-Teens - One Night In Bangkok

Bangkok, Oriental city
But the city dont know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies, doesnt seem a minute
since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it
All change, dont you know that when you
Play at this level theres no ordinary venue

Its Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings
Or....or this place!

One night in Bangkok and the worlds your oyster
The bars are temples but their pearls aint free
Youll find a god in every golden cloister
And if youre lucky, then the gods a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One towns very like another
When your heads down over your pieces, brother
（Its a drag, its a bore, its really such a pity
To be looking at the board
not looking at the city）
Whattaya mean?!
Youve seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get tied, youre talking to a tourist
Whose every moves among the purest
I get my kicks ABOVE the waistline, sunshine!
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Cant be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

Siams gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This gripsme more than would a muddy old river
or reclining Buddha
Thank God Im only watching the game, controlling it
I dont see you guys rating
The kind of mate Im contemplating
Id let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens WE use would not excite you.
So, you better go back to your bars, your temples...
your 'massage parlors'...

One night in Bangkok and the worlds your oyster
The bars are temples but their pearls aint free
Youll 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 Bangkok makes the hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Cant be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
