[Verse 1]
Listen!
The sweet peals of moonlight-induced lovemaking on the streets tonight
Listen!
The soft purr of motorbikes ready to strike up the night alight
So don’t tell me of your troubles, your emotional grief
Take in the sights, this is shore leave
Don’t talk of true love, unscrew your frown
Enjoy the entertainments of nighttime town
Experience the red rooms, the green tables, the souvenirs
Make memories; haunting or fabled
The gallant mist of red blooded chivalry instilled in basic training
[Bridge 1]
By standing in line today
You secure a place among the saints
Go get them, son, now your life begins
To die for your country does not win a war
To kill for your country is what wins a war
[Verse 2]
Don’t tell your name and don’t ask for hers
In this land of oysters, you are the worms
The painless plainness of military life
Resumes tomorrow night
