Late at night on the open road
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey, babe
He is closer now and the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind
Yes there's the ragged hill
And there's the boat on the river
When the rain came down
He heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night, ("Don't do it")
Voices out of sight, ("Don't do it")
Too many men have failed before
Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
In the rolling mists then he gets on board
Now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder, babe
Lightning flashed, and the thunder roared
And people calling out his name (Stockmann)
Dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned
On the water, babe
And then the ferryman said
There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now (Don't do it)
You must pay me now (Don't do it)
And still that voice came from beyond
Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side

I was a PFC on a search patrol huntin' Charlie down
It was in the jungle wars of 1965
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone
And I could hear the enemy moving 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, we fought all night side by side we took our battle stance
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
'Cause they seemed to go right through him
Just as if he wasn't there
And in the top of the morning we both took a chance and ran
And it was near the river bank when the ambush came on top of us
And I'd thought it was the end and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush
And that big Marine he just swatted it with his hand
Whoa Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Whoa Camouflage
This was an awfully strange Marine
And I knew there was something weird about him
'Cause when I turned around he was pullin' palm trees out of the ground, and swattin' those Charlies with it
From here to Kingdom Come
When he led me out of danger
I saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
When I got back to my HQ, I told them about my night
And the battle I'd spent with a big Marine named Camouflage
When I said his name a soldier gulped
And a medic took my arm
And led me to a green tent on the right
He said you may be tellin' the truth boy,
but this here is Camouflage,
And he's been right here since he passed away last night
But before he went he said, "Semper Fi, "
And said his only wish
Was to save a young marine caught in a barrage
So here, take his dog tag, son,
I know he'd want you to have it now."
And we both had a drink to a big Marine named Camouflage
Whoa Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Whoa Camouflage
This was an awfully big Marine

One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car, so come on, let's ride
To the liquor store around the corner
The boys say they want some gin and juice
But I really don't wanna
Beer bust like I had last week
I must stay deep because talk is cheap
I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita
And as I continue you know they getting sweeter
To me is flirting it's just like sport, anything fly
It's all good, let me dump it, please set in the trumpet
A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man
Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hand on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you doing it right
A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man

Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess that I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess that I'm in, baby
She walked up to me, babe
And really stole my heart
And then she started
To take my body apart
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run, babe
far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run, babe
So far away from you
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess that I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess that I'm in, baby
It's only just a moment, babe
She's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation, babe
For a ne-nervous boy
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess that I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess that I'm in, baby
But you looked so angry, babe
As I crawled across your floor
But, she has got the strain, babe
And I can't take any more
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run, babe
far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run, babe
So far away from you

Laudate Caprinum Regem
Spiritus Capri
Caprinus rex invictus
Caprinus rex aeturnus
One more day will break you
Excistance is futile
You kneel to the powers that be
Feed the machine, concede to misery
One day you might break through
This grind will kill you
Your flesh feed the powers that be
Defy the machine, consume their misery
All hail Caprinus Rex
The goat king will rise
All hail Caprinus Rex
The goat king will rise
Righteous violence
One more day till your debut
They’ll no longer suppress you
You feast on the powers that be
Destroy the machine, dwell in their misery
All hail Caprinus Rex
The goat king will rise
All hail Caprinus Rex
The goat king will rise
Righteous violence
