They are not nice, they're mostly noise They swear like men, they screw like boys I know there's nothing in their hearts But every time I take one in my arms It starts: The movie in my mind The dream they leave behind A scene I can't erase And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place The movie plays and plays The screen before me fills He takes me to New York He gives me dollar bills Our children laugh all day And eat too much ice cream And life is like a dream Dream The dream I long to find The movie in my mind I will not cry, I will not think I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink when I make love, it won't be me And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes And see They are not nice, they're mostly noise The movie in my mind They kill like men, they die like boys The dream that fills my head They give their cash, they keep their hearts A man who will not kill But every night again it starts Who'll fight for me instead He'll keep us safe all day So no one comes at night To blow the dream away The dream I have to find The movie in my mind And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place A world that's far away Where life is not unkind

Why does Saigon never sleep at night? Why does this girl smell of orange trees? How can I feel good when nothing's right? Why is she cool when there is no breeze? Vietnam You don't give answers, do you friend? Just questions that don't ever end Why God? Why today? I'm all through here, on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this? Who is the girl in this rusty bed? Why am I back in a filthy room? Why is her voice ringing in my head? Why am I high on her cheap perfume? Vietnam Hey look I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense? Why God? Show your hand Why can't one guy understand? I've been with girls who knew much more I never felt confused before Why me? What's your plan? I can't help her - No one can I liked my mem'ries as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her When I went home before No one talked of the war What they knew from TV Didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped Sure Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here driving for the embassy 'cause here if you can pull a string A guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything Why God? Why this face? Why such beauty in this place? I liked my mem'ries as they were But now I'll leave rememb'ring her Just her

Hey, tell the CO I'm taking all of my leave We're gonna play house, oh John, it's like Christmas eve We have sworn we won't see the sun for forty-eight hours What are you saying? Are you out of your mind? All leaves are canceled, You could be left behind Saigon is falling apart, and you'd better be here Here is the news, since you've been on the moon Cities in the boondocks are dropping like flies Wives and civilians will be shipping out soon Crowds around the Embassy have tears in their eyes Thieu has resigned, the new regime may not hold People at the place think we'll send the marines We are sending nothing from what I've been told Buddy, are you there? Do you know what that[this] means? Sure! Time to fall in love! John, listen fast, you did not get this call You're the one who bought the girl for me after all "Once you're a friend, you're a friend through and through" When you are in trouble, then I'll cover for you Not this time, the town's too hot For one Kongai whore ol' buddy, I will not get you killed She is no whore, you saw her too She's really more, like... the April moon She's been hurt, you see Both her parents died What else could she be? Sweet as that, and she's an orphan too! How can a guy fight that? You got one day, not two Then be back! |

You're here. It's true It is as I was told This man and you For how much were you sold? Our vows! Our name! You squander them on swine And worse - This shame Before your family's shrine This girl is mine! Yours? Now What? Who are you? Stop! What's this I find? You have joined with the blind And do none of you see what's ahead What's this I find? I see[These are] losers and whores Who will soon all be gone or be dead Get out! You have no right to be here I'm not a prize you can claim We were promised at thirteen The woman I've become is not the same That promise made by your father I will claim when we win To break a vow of your parents is worse than a sin My parents got themselves killed in the week you changed side(s) If there were promises all of them died when they died He's got a gun! Kim, leave this man behind Go on! And shoot! I will not change my mind! You are still mine! Not anymore! You're mine until we die! Get out of here! Saigon will fall And so will your GI She'll leave with me! You broke your father's word This is your curse! |

On silent feet it came Breathing a sheet of flame, it came Closing in on its rightful prey Burning a hundred years away The morning of the dragon Truth lit up the street The tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet And in the clear white heat of dawn, Was gone. . . From every door they came Victory These children born of war, they came Victory Sharing a secret word, which they Victory Waited a hundred years to say The morning of the dragon The morning of the dragon all the Truth lit up the street Walls fell down The tiger we were stalking Brother greeted brother Walked on paper feet In a sudden light And in the clear white heat of dawn And (in) the endless night Was gone Was gone On silent feet it came Victory May all our children learn Breathing a sheet of flame, it came Victory Closing in on its rightful prey Victory The tide of right will turn Burning a hundred years away The morning of the dragon Truth lit up the street The tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet And in the clear white heat of dawn Was gone. . . |

Last night I watched him sleeping My body pressed to him And then he started speaking The name I heard him speak was Kim Yes, I know that this was years ago But when moonlight fills my room I know You are here... still I still I still believe You will return I know you will My heart Against all odds Holds still Yes, still I still believe I know as long as I can keep believing, I'll live I'll live Love cannot die You will return You will return And I alone know why Last night I watched you sleeping Once more, the nightmare came I heard you cry out something A word that sounded like a name And it hurts me more than I can bear Knowing part of you I'll never share Never know But still I still believe The time will come When nothing keeps us apart My heart, forever more Holds still It's all over, I'm here There is nothing to fear Chris, what's haunting you? Won't you let me inside What you so want to hide! I need you too! For still I will hold you all night, I will make it all right I still believe You are safe with me As long as I And I wish you could tell what you don't want to tell Can keep believing, I'll live What your hell must be I'll live / You can sleep now You will return You can cry now And I know why I'm your wife now I'm yours For life Until we die Until we die |

Are you waiting for them to kill me? Did you not get what he said? There's a big screw loose inside you I will rip it out of your head That's a mad dog on the rampage If you think he'll change, save your breath Just say "yes", I don't care if you love him Princess, life has it all over death! I have a husband I love Real as the sun in the sky I cannot live with a lie Do you see now who has power? Do you still think crazy things? Chris will come to me like the Phoenix And he'll take me off on his wings You're a traitor to your country If I am, then let it be I am talking of life or death now I am talking of staying free So there it is now, It's time to move on If you don't need me, I'd rather be gone Two kids in love don't need strangers around You just get out! Right! I won't make a sound And as for you, come with me No! There is a secret That you don't know There is a force here I never show You say it's treason To keep my vow Season after season I survived somehow If you want the reason I will show you now Look, Thuy, this is my son He has kept me alive Now you see why I must tell you "no" |

They're called Bui-Doi.
The dust of life. Conceived in Hell, And born in strife. They are the living reminder of all the good we failed to do. We can't forget Must not forget That they are all our children, too. Like all survivors I once thought When I'm home I won't give a damn But now I know I'm caught, I'll never leave Vietnam War isn't over when it ends, some pictures never leave you mind. They are the faces of the children the ones we left behind They're called Bui-doi. The dust of life, conceived in hell and born in strife They are the living reminders of all the good we failed to do That's why we know deep in our hearts, that they are all our children too These kids hit walls on every side, they don't belong in any place. Their secret they can't hide it't printed on their face. I never thought one day I've plead For half-breeds from a land that's torn But then I saw a camp for children whose crime was being born They're called Bui-Doi, the dust of life conceived in hell and born in strife. We owe them fathers and a family a loving home they never knew. Because we know deep in our hearts that they are all our children too. These are souls in need, they need us to give Someone has to pay for their chance to live Help me try They're called Bui-Doi. The dust of life. Conceived in Hell, And born in strife. They are the living reminders of all the good we failed to do. (That's why we know) That's why we know (Deep in our hearts) Deep in our hearts That's why we know That they are all our children, too. |
