A Far Cry

A Far Cry 

A far cry from home
A man sat drinking 
Up a storm
2o drinks too sober

Down on his luck
Living by his wits
Down and out

On the street
Of fabled Bangkok
Just another loser

Flotsam white boy
Lost in inner space

Out of his mind
Dreaming dark dreams

As he continued to drink
A far cry from home
