Got an old man staggering around
Down the soi, hitting the ground
Bloodstained shirt, ten a.m.
Bargirl rushes out to help him
She's seen it all so often before
All that pride coming before a fall
Why d'ya wanna get drunk in paradise?
Egotist ascendancy
Middle class mediocrity
Born into a wealthy state
Fifty years submerged in grey
Left too late to start to play
Suffering soul decay
Guess you finally made your escape
Travelled half a world away
Yet you took your past along
Still in control of your mind
Chasing after receding thrills
Inhibitions gotta be killed
Drinking helps him to forget
Years of pointless working sweat
Future empty leisure looms
In a sterile condo room
