Textes et Paroles de Camouflage

I was a P.F.C. on a search patrol, huntin' Charlie downIt was in the jungle wars of '65My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all aloneAnd I could hear the enemy movin' in close outsideJust then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gunAnd I dug in scared while I counted down my fateAnd then a big Marine, a giant, with a pair of friendly eyesAppeared there at my shoulder and said "Wait"When he came in close beside me, he said "Don't worry, son,I'm hereIf Charlie wants to tangle now, he'll have two to dodge"I said, "Well, thanks a lot", I told him my name andasked him hisAnd he said "The boys just call me Camouflage"Chorus:Woah-oh-oh-oh, CamouflageThings are never quite the way they seemWoah-oh-oh-oh, CamouflageI was awfully glad to see this big MarineWell, I was gonna ask him where he came from, when we heard thebullets flyComin' through the brush, and all around our earsIt was then I saw this big Marine light a fire in his eyeAnd it was strange, but suddenly, I forgot my fears(NOTE: This part does not appear on the single remix edit version)Well, we fought all night, side by side, we took our battle stanceAnd I wondered how the bullets missed this man'Cause they seemed to go right through him - just as if hewasn't thereAnd in the mornin' we both took a chance and ranAnd it was near the riverbank when the ambush came on top of usAnd I thought it was the end, and we were hadThen a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bushAnd that big Marine, he just swat it with his handJust like it was a fly...Chorus:Woah-oh-oh-oh, CamouflageThings are never quite the way they seemWoah-oh-oh-oh, CamouflageThis was an awfully strange (big) Marine{spoken}And I knew there was somethin' weird about him,'Cause when I turned around,He was pullin' a big palm tree up outta the groundAnd swattin' those Charlies with it from here to kingdom comeWhen he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbyeHe just winked at me from the jungle and then was goneWhen I got back to my H.Q., I told 'em about my nightAnd the battle I'd spent with a big Marine named CamouflageWhen I said his name, the soldier gulped, and a medic took my armAnd led me to a green tent on the rightHe said "You may be tellin' true, boy, but this here is camouflageAnd he's been right here since he passed away last nightIn fact, he's been here all week long...But before he went, he said Semper Fi, and said his only wishWas to save a young Marine caught in a barrageSo here, take his dog tag, son, I know he'd want you to have itnow"And we both said a prayer for a big Marine named CamouflageChorus repeat So next time you're in a jungle fight, and you feel a presencenearOr hear a voice that in your mind will lodgeJust be thankful that you're not alone -you've got somecompanyFrom a big Marine the boys call Camouflage(NOTE: This part does not appear on the single remix edit version)Chorus repeat x2Hup, hey-ho, hey, left... left...Woah, woah, CamouflageHey, hey-ho, ho, left... left...Woah, woah, Camouflagerepeat endlessly until fade...
