'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 kneel down and pray And the next I 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. Still in Saigon....Still in Saigon I am Still in Saigon in my mind! The ground at home was covered with snow. And I was covered in sweat. My younger brother calls me a killer and My daddy calls me a vet. Everybody says that I'm someone else That I'm sick and there's no cure. Da---d 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. SongtexteI 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 searchin through the sky. All the sounds of long ago will be forever in my head. Mingled with the wounded's cries and the silence of the dead... C ause I'm Still in Saigon...Still in Saigon I am still in Saigon....in my mind! Aus Songtexte Mania
