Got on a plane in 'Frisco
And got off in Vietnam
I walked into
a different world
The past forever gone
I could have gone to Canada
Or I could have
stayed in school
But I was
brought up differently
I couldn't
break the rules
Thirteen months
and fifteen days
The last ones
were the worst
One minute
I'd kneel down and pray
And the next
I'd stand and curse
No place to run to
Where I did
not feel that war
When I got home
I stayed alone
And checked
behind each door
Cos I'm still in Saigon
Still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
In my mind
The ground at home
was covered in snow
And I was
covered in sweat
My younger brother
calls me a killer
And my daddy
calls me a vet
Everybody says
I'm someone else
And I'm sick
and there's no cure
****ed if I know
who I am
There was only
one place I was sure
When I was still in Saigon
Still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
In my mind
Every summer when
it rains
I smell the jungle
I hear the planes
I can't tell no one
I feel ashamed
Afraid someday
I'll go insane
That's been ten
long years ago
And time has
gone on by
But now and then
I catch myself
Eyes searching
through the sky
All the sounds
of long ago
Will be forever
in my head
Mingled with
the wounded cries
And the silence
of the dead
'Cos I'm still in Saigon
Still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
In my mind
I am still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
Yes I'm still in Saigon
In my mind
Still in Saigon
