The ballad of the Bangkok Novotel
No sleep, no smile, no nothing for me
It's so hot that I can't breathe
Nine stone two and six foot three
Rats are crawling on my feet
Dribble to nothing for the company
Lizard and geckos cover me
Military police are after me
Everybody else seems so happy
ย
Nuclear-sized apples fill these scenes
Even the water tastes like tea
On a diet of gaviscon
Look at me, I'm fucking gone
Alive, watch five times a day
My daughter's fucking on a car again
On the phone ten times a day
Hiding under the table again
ย
Breakfast, my mouth tastes like piss
Masturbation, there's nothing left
In a daze, anorexic haze
Look outside, a giant insect
Bug inside of me won't go
Egg and chips is all I want
So hungry, I can't taste home
Wake up screaming on all fours
ย
Knock, knock, knocking on my door
My life is a disaster
Giant ice cubes rolling on the floor
Someone help me, dear God
Everybody has big smiles
I am losing my fucking mind
I've had enough of being alone
I'd give anything to save my soul
ย
I think that I have seen the devil
Satan smiles at me in the mirror
Revolution in the golden palace
Four sickly boys are losing resistance
So much porn and alcohol
I'm so numb to my hormones
But my puberty is winning
Five years later, I'm still shaking
