Stan Ridgway - Camouflage lyrics | LyricsFreak

I was a PFC on a search patrol huntin' Charlie down

It was in the jungle wars of '65

My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone

And I could hear the enemy movin' in close outside

Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun

And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate

And then a big marine, a giant with a pair of friendly eyes

Appeared there at my shoulder and said wait

 

When he came in close beside me he said,

"Don't worry, son, I'm here,

If Charlie wants to tangle now he'll have two to dodge."

I said, "Well thanks a lot."

I told him my name and asked him his

And he said, "The boys just call me Camouflage."

 

Whoa Camouflage

Things are never quite the way they seem

Whoa Camouflage

I was awfully glad to see this big marine

 

Well I was gonna ask him where he came from

When we heard the bullets fly

Coming through the bush

And all around our ears

 

It was then I saw this big Marine Stan Ridgway - Camouflage Lyrics - ZUZ
