[00:56.42]But bad bills have no respect
[00:59.02]For a decent man's rest

[01:14.65]
[01:23.92]On an Asiatic plane with
[01:26.44]Wings not of the grain
[01:28.40]Toilet queue was endless
[01:30.15]Couldn't get a beer
[01:32.58]The hostesses
[01:34.89]Were hostesses
[01:37.22]When I get in toilet
[01:39.30]Light flashes return to seat
[01:41.82]I feared withdrawal
[01:43.55]And I feared beer was making

[02:08.99]And act like E T
[02:11.16]Where I'm at is a cabbage patch
[02:13.48]No longer strewn with weeds
[02:15.70]Have a Ghandi at me
[02:17.57]
