Part one, twenty shades of green
The most beautiful country that he'd ever seen
Southeast Asian eyes
Glancing over the reeds and the vines
Taking him further into the forest
Never knowing
How far or when it will end
Will he ever see Ann Arbor again?
'Cause if he gets home
He'll take to the road
With Alice and the rest of the boys
Part two, for Jack and his tragedies
Leading up to submission
Give it to me
Like the fool that you are
I know that you're satisfied
With your life, the house, the kids, and the wife
But tell me
Was there ever a time
When you aimed at the universe?
Part three, for Jack it was different
Though they were both not innocent
For Jack it was different
They found his dead body in the East River
I never heard the story till I was older
You swam all the way to Cambodia
How did you end up in Florida?
Kicked out of school with a trunk of liquor
Gary's older brother was
Jack the soldier
