One Night In Bangkok

One night in Bangkok
Makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok
And the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Bangkok, Oriental city
And the city don't 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
Doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa
Had the chess boys in it
All change
Don't you know that when you
Play at this level
There's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland
Or the Philippines
Or Hastings
Or this place
One night in Bangkok and
The world's your oyster
The bars are temples
But the booze ain't free
You'll find your god in
Every golden cloister
And if you're lucky
Then the guy's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town's very like another
When your head's down
Over your pieces, brother
It's a drag, it's a bore
It's really such a pity
To be looking at the board
Not looking at the city
Whaddya mean?
Ya seen one crowded
Polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the
Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above
The westline, 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
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
One night in Bangkok and
The world's your oyster
The bars are temples
But the booze ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky
Then the guy's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok
Makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok
And the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
