X-Pat

She came out at 8pm, started screaming about americans
 every single night at 8pm, she got mad at the china
 man
 so i'm shutting the doors on vietnam
 so pull out your book and try to remain calm
 he showed up for a pint of beer
 until she came out and proper made things clear
 but mama said put a flag on your back
 daytrain to haarlem, i've got this flag on my back
 i met a dairy farmer, she had a flag on her back
 x-pat from regina said he never... he said he never
 looked back
 but in the paradiso, let's go back upstairs
 and move up the front. that's where the people care.
 and he passed out at 8pm, either from boredom or too
 much gin
 he asked me if i paid my fare
 a flag on my back and it was all laissez-faire
 then he asked me about those great outdoors
 and if it's true we don't lock doors
 flag on my back meant to take a seat
 she couldn't feel her hand so we had to hit the
 street
 but brucey don't need a flag on his back
 'don't mess with texas' this is the flag on his back
 but in your own country, who needs a flag on your
 back?
 two years in china, he said he never... he said he
 never looked back. don't look back.
 but in the paradiso, let's go back downstairs.
 and move up to the front, that's where the people
 care.
 that's where the people care.
