Lost In Madripoor

Shady characters all around,
how did I end up in this God forsaken town?

Madripoor lowtown is rampant with crime,
I clinch on to my wallet all of the time.

Tonight there is a really full moon,
should I try my luck in the Brass Monkey Saloon?

With a smile on my face I chat with their folks,
they know I'm an outsider, will I get choked?

I take my beer and I walk down to Wharfside,
what am I crazy, do I want to die?

I should of gone to hightown where they have gilded doors,
instead I wander aimlessly, lost in lowtown Madripoor.
