Why God Why? Songtext
von Jan Werner

Why does Saigon never sleep at night?
Why does this girl smell of orange trees?
How can I feel good when nothing′s right?
Why is she cool when there is no breeze?
Vietnam, you don't get answers, do you, friend?
Just questions that don′t never end

Why, God? Why today?
I'm all through here, on my way
There's nothing left here that I′ll miss
Why send me now a night like this?

Where′s the girl in this rusty bed?
Why am I back in a filthy room?
Why is her voice ringing in my head?
Why am I high on that cheap perfume?
Vietnam, hey, look, I mean you no offense
But why does nothing here make sense?


Why, God? Show your hand
Why can't one guy understand?
I′ve been with girls who knew much more
I never felt confused before
Why me? What's your plan?
I can′t help her, no one can
I like my memories as they were
But now I'll leave remembering her

When I went here before, no one talked of the war
What they knew from TV didn′t have a thing to do with me
I was called a re-up, sure, Saigon is corrupt
It felt better to be a drive-in for the embassy
So if you can pull a string
A guy like me lives like a king
Just as long as you don't believe anything

Why, God? Why this face?
Why such beauty in this place?
I like my memories as they were
But now I'll leave remembering her

Just her
