[English]

[Music]

listen

the sweet peels of moonlight induced

love making on the streets tonight

listen

the soft purr of motorbikes

are ready to strike off the night alive

so don't tell me of your troubles your

emotional grief

taking the science this is sure 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 of fables

the gallant mist of red-blooded chivalry

instilled in basic training

[Music]

to kill for your country is what wins a

war

[Music]

don't tell your name

don't ask for hers

in this land of oysters you are the

world the painless plainness of military

life

resumes

forget about it

too many to recall

[Music]

a soup nothingness that once was your

best friend motherless children and

temptress widows the wild the useless

[Music]

and tonight you decide which corner

takes residence which room rooms forever

in your mind but now you're on your own

we don't need men like you

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we don't need men like you tristan van
