[verse 1]
standing in front of the black wall
with lots of names carved in
trying to make a little bit of sense of it all
where do i begin?
most of us shared so much
for never, ever having met
and it’s too much to remember
how could i forget?

[verse 2]
past is always present
present is no friend
afraid of what lies underneath
a scratch below my skin
taking inventory
at the surplus store
lines up in the cross hairs
outside my front door

[chorus]
ah, take me down saigon river
ah, take me down to the china sea
put myself unreservedly in the stars and stripes forever
i got a little cauterized brain and a heart
shot off at the knees

[verse 3]
if you got a good home to go to
it’s cool, i guess i’ll say
homeward bound, and we touched down
there at the jfk
i’d like to forget that moment
there’s the curse of video tape
screaming and all the clenched fists
spit rolling down my face

[chorus]
ah, take me down saigon river
ah, take me down to the china sea
put myself unreservedly in the stars and stripes forever
i got a little cauterized brain and a heart
shot off at the knees
oh!

[guitar solo]

[verse 4]
late at night, tv’s on
kids are off to bed
under the haze of the cathode ray
step out of the cargo bay
women and children, take them out first
the whole thing feels so hopeless
smile or a handshake, and lookout, baby!
here comes the plastic explosive

[chorus]
ah, take me down saigon river
ah, take me down to the china sea
put myself unreservedly in the stars and stripes forever
i got a little cauterized brain and a heart
shot off at the knees
got a little cauterized brain and a heart
shot off at the knees
got a little cauterized brain
oh!

[guitar solo]
