Xmas In February - Lou Reed[00:00:01]
Sam was lyin' in the jungle[00:00:11]
Agent orange spread against the sky like marmalade[00:00:14]
Hendrix played on some foreign jukebox[00:00:17]
They were praying to be saved[00:00:19]
Those gooks were fierce and fearless[00:00:22]
That's the price you pay when you invade[00:00:25]
Xmas in february[00:00:28]
Sam lost his arm in some border town[00:00:33]
His fingers are mixed with someone's crop[00:00:36]
If he didn't have that opium to smoke[00:00:39]
The pain would never ever stop[00:00:42]
Half his friends are stuffed into black body bags[00:00:44]
With their names printed at the top[00:00:47]
Xmas in february[00:00:50]
Sammy was a short order cook[00:00:55]
In a short order black and blue collar town[00:00:58]
Everybody worked the steel mill[00:01:01]
But the steel mill got closed down[00:01:04]
He thought if he joined the army[00:01:06]
He'd have a future that was sound[00:01:09]
Like no xmas in february[00:01:11]
Sam's staring at the vietnam wall[00:01:40]
It's been a while now that he's home[00:01:42]
His wife and kid have left he's unemployed[00:01:45]
He's a reminder of the war that wasn't won[00:01:48]
He's the guy on the street with the sign that reads[00:01:51]
"please help send this vet home"[00:01:54]
But he is home[00:01:56]
And there's no xmas in february[00:01:58]
No matter how much he saves[00:02:01]
