[ar:Lou Reed]
[al:New York]
[00:11.48] Sam was lyin' in the jungle
[00:13.64] agent orange spread against the sky like marmalade
[00:16.68] Hendrix played on some foreign jukebox
[00:19.86] they were praying to be saved
[00:21.95] Those gooks were fierce and fearless
[00:24.75] that's the price you pay when you invade
[00:27.53] Xmas in February
[00:30.62]
[00:30.97] Sam lost his arm in some border town
[00:36.10] His fingers are mixed with someone's crop
[00:38.59] If he didn't have that opium to smoke
[00:41.59] The pain would never ever stop
[00:44.57] Half his friends are stuffed into black body bags
[00:47.21] With their names printed at the top
[00:49.65] Xmas in February
[00:51.79]
[00:52.39] Sammy was a short order cook
[00:57.46] In a short order black and blue collar town
[01:01.36] Everybody worked the steel mill
[01:03.69] But the steel mill got closed down
[01:06.58] He thought if he joined the Army
[01:08.33] He'd have a future that was sound
[01:11.42] Like no Xmas in February
[01:13.32]
[01:39.48] Sam's staring at the Vietnam Wall
[01:42.36] It's been a while now that he's home
[01:44.90] His wife and kid have left, he's unemployed
[01:47.69] He's a reminder of the war that wasn't won
[01:50.52] He's that guy on the street with the sign that reads
[01:53.41] "Please help send this Vet home"
[01:55.90] But he is home, and there's no Xmas in February
[02:00.44] No matter how much he saves
