Well it was just another day,
the napalm was fading away,
and the stench was hangin' in the air
another round was comin' in,
and i was huggin' the ground again,
i could feel the heat of the fire
then everything faded to black,
and i was lyin' on my back,
blood runnin' down through my hair
colors were runnin' in my head;
green, yellow, black and red
in the back of my throat,
the taste of fear

[chorus:]
and i've got twenty more minutes of pain
i hope that i can hang on!
time is closin' in, the needle is my only friend
please give me a shot of morphine!
the clouds are lookin grey, and i don't have much to say
i hope the ride don't last too long
the sound of the blade is cutting through the shade,
and bodies scattered on the ground
now i'm floating away,
the chaplain, he's starting to pray
his voice is the only sound
[chorus:]
and i've got twenty more minutes of pain
i hope that i can hang on!
time is closin' in, the needle is my only friend.
please give me a shot of morphine!
and i've got twenty more minutes of pain
i hope that i can hang on!
time is closin' in, the needle is my only friend
please give me a shot of morphine!
