Saigon

Limping in the hotel Hilton
Spending days in old Saigon
Walking in pagoda gardens
Drinking absinthe 'till dawn

City of obscure paternity
Paris of the Orient
Tumbling off into eternity
Bastard of the East and West

Endless nights filled with haunting shadows
Slowly fade into morning mist
Faces seen, but not remembered
A place where time does not exist
