Sad Café - Keeping It from the Troops lyrics

Last night when the stars were gleaming And everybody was peacefully sleeping Through the moonlight I could see somebody stealing away Followed him down to the casbah Where the night's a fever And it's no place for a non-believer It's Captain Anderson, he's a deceiver yeah I'll be keeping it from the troops, just where he's at I'll be keeping it to myself, till I hit back In the desert where the sands are burning I see him smile as he watches them squirming With Captain Anderson there'll be no returning Now it's another day, another village to plunder Down into battle, where it sounds like thunder With Captain Anderson there's no going under, yeah I'll be keeping it from the troops to stay alive And I'll be keeping it to myself, if I should survive I saw them giving him money I saw them put it in his hand And there's one thing that you'd better understand Captain Anderson's a k**er, A traitor in a foreign land And those who know will end up buried in the sand Another night with the stars for a ceiling And all around I hear the wailing and weeping How many nights can he go without sleeping? Maybe tonight, maybe before daybreak He'll fall asleep and I'll make sure he never wakes I've got to do it Got to do it, for God's sake, yeah I'll be keeping it from the troops until the break of day And I'll be keeping to myself till I'm far away
