lyrics

She’s a Rickshaw woman from bagsu road
Shes a kingfish lady at the liquor store
I was a Jewish once, but only in my dreams
Wheres the hash? Says my friend the queen
Hello darling, hello my friend
Hello to the queen, where have you been?

We went down temple road, past the cashmere scarfs
Past the beggars and con men with their babies in arms
And the valley leads down into Dharmasla
And The translator misquotes the Dali lama

They got monks here with cappuccinos in their hands
They play fifa in the windows, they got cell phone plans
Out here the cows they are like Gods , you cant buy no steak
The German bakeries on every corner, sell devilish chocolate cake

Pour me a glass of royal stag, pass me a cigarette
Gavin says hes gonna volunteer but he hasn’t yet
Leigh is an artist full of risk and great expectations
You should hear all these absurd games and conversations

I met a man from Finland who lives in Greece
He makes mojitos and he grows his own weed
He steals my cigarettes but he makes me tea
He can stretch his head down past his knees
