Dave Brockie Experience — I Saw Three Forms lyrics

Lyrics

The Iron Triangle
Danang
We’re good to go
Danang, military police. Thought I’d be safe not on the front lines,
but Vietnam wasn’t that type of a war. So I shipped out, special forces.
I made it, I joined the ranks, human ears around their necks. And drank
Budweiser. There were questions, and I’m a good soldier. I said…
I saw three forms
They were together
I saw three forms
They were together
I saw three forms
Together
I saw three forms
They were together
I saw their faces
Etched in pain
I saw three forms
Running in the rain
I saw their faces
Trinity
I saw three forms
Mommy, daughter, daughter, me
How many were three? What did you see? Where were they? Where were they going?
Where was C Company? And Lieutenant Albuquerque…
Albuquerque was dead. NVA, shell fragment to the head. And as he died,
he tried to tell me something that I would never tell you. But let’s ignore
all that. So I say again…
I saw three forms
They were together
I saw three forms
Together
I saw three forms, «What did you see?»
I saw three forms
And they showed their hands to me
And you made a murderer of me
I’ll
(We're far too)
I’m a good soldier!
A good soldier!
I see nothing…
