last night in bangkok
that thousand mile
stare of a soi cowboy
girl tables away
praying tonight she
will find something
to smile about
the band’s heart of
gold a train wreck
tall skinny white hair
german keeps stepping
outside for a smoke
thai guy in hawaiian
shirt eating peanuts
been here centuries
next band are killers
seen last year kick
off with white wedding
drummer solid a seventy
year old legend skull
capped faded clash
t-shirt segue into
achy breaky heart
billie ray cyrus meets
motown soul where
creedence clearwater are
still called the golliwogs
