"Bonus Mai Tais" lyrics - THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

The sidereal doo-wop of the rain
On the skylight, yeah, it played
First time I'd seen you since when
The cancer nearly did you in

Like always, some fancy spread
A themed drink, it is just your way
Customs you're still keeping up
Scorpions or boulevardiers

The sidereal doo-wop of the rain
On the skylight, yeah, it played
You're calling this the bonus round
I don't want to call it that, though

But in case I can't make it back
In case I don't make it back
I'll have one more bonus Mai Tai
I'll have one more bonus Mai Tai

The sidereal doo-wop of the rain
On the skylight, yeah, it played
You splurged and bought a new TV
Said, "Hey, you can't take it with you!"

And what could I do but agree?
Knowing dick all about such things
And we love this song, it's a classic hit
Yeah, Thompson Twins, they rarely missed

In case I can't make it back
In case I can't make it back
I'll have one more bonus Mai Tai
Have one more bonus Mai Tai

You said, "Thank God I didn't know
Any earlier I was sick
Because it wouldn't have changed a thing for me"
Which blurred into the cocktail history

Once it depleted rum supplies
Post-depression, the tiki craze
But you have to use curacao
Orange juice is frowned upon

Oh, if I don't make it back
Oh, if I can't make it back
I'll have one more bonus Mai Tai
Have one more bonus Mai Tai

The sidereal doo-wop of the rain
On the skylight
The sidereal doo-wop of the rain
On the skylight
The sidereal doo-wop of the rain
On the skylight
