Camouflage - Sabaton

I was a P.F.C. on search patrol, huntin' Charlie down

It was the jungle wars of '65

My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out all alone

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, with a pair of friendly eyes

Appeared there at my shoulder and said "Wait."

Charlie wants to tango, now he'll have two to dance"

I said: "Well, thanks!", I told him my name and asked him his

And he said: "The boys just call me Camouflage"

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

Things are never quite the way they seem

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

I was awfully glad to see this big Marine

Well, we fought all night, side by side, 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 mornin' we both took a chance and ran

And it was near the riverbank when the ambush came

And I thought this was the end, and we were had

Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush

And then the big Marine, he just swat it with his hand

Just like it was a fly...

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

Things are never quite the way they seem

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

I was awfully glad to see this big Marine

When he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye

He just winked at me from the jungle then he was gone

When I got back to my H.Q., I told 'em 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 telling 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 mirage"

"So here, take his dog tag, son, I know he'd want you to have it now"

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

Things are never quite the way they seem

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

I was awfully glad to see this big Marine

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

Things are never quite the way they seem

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

This was an awfully big marine

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

Things are never quite the way they seem

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage

This was an awfully big marine
