If you want to watch, she'll dance again
Your drugs are expensive today
everything was cheaper before
and life is beginning to bore

If you want to **** again, she'll go another round
bring her down around town, smile and frown

So if Heaven is full, I know a place we can go
Let me know if this seedy city is too much
if her face is pretty much muck
I think you might be stuck

But she still dances, and you're still watching
from the balcony and the beacon

the lifeless girl drowned in the Mekong
where was she escaping to, or from?
Ever since the start of the Vietnam War, rates of child prostitution in and around this region of Asia have skyrocketed

Trafficking in newborn babies, foetuses, viscera and counterfeit adoption documents for the trade of children is also a rising trend

*** tourists from the west are big business

Supply and demand
