Kim's Nightmare lyrics

Thuy

Did you think I'd gone away?

I am the man you killed that day

Cold with a bullet inside my chest

My corpse may be sleeping

But my soul won't rest

I'm the crime that you hid

You can cry but you'll never forget what you did

You will never be free

Not as long as there's me

Did you think you would escape the judgement that was planned?

Did you think you would escape the truth's avenging hand

Just because you have escaped the bound'ries of your land?

I'm here! I'm here! I'm never dead

I'm here! I am the guilt inside your head!

You think your marine's not like other men?

He betrayed you once

And he will again

Think about that night

Where was he back then?

Chris

I'm getting you out!

Capt. Schultz

Sorry, sergeant, as things degenerate

All I'm giving her is her emigration papers

Without the wait, sign here

Chris

That's not good enough

Capt. Schultz

This will get her on board the carrier

You're declaring that you will marry her

When you get back to the states, sign here

Soldiers

By order of the old man

The embassy will close according to plan

Capt. Schultz

I'll stretch a couple rules to issue her pass

That's it, you're ready. nice ass. who's next?

Soldiers

By order of the old man

We're processing the gooks as fast as we can

Capt. Schultz

I mean Vietnamese, hey don't get me wrong

Can't leave these looks for the Cong - right?

Chris

Christ, I am due at the embassy

No time to lose

Kim

I don't want you to leave me today

Chris

Well at least Uncle Sam bought our honeymoon cruise

Kim

If you're going I don't want to stay

Chris

Look I'm leaving my gun

We got time stay and pack

Kim

Well I will do whatever you say

Chris

We'll get plenty of word when the VC attack

I want you in that bed waiting when I get back

Doc

Sorry, sergeant, we must accelerate

State department says we evacuate

The word is, we must be out by dawn

Chris

But my girl is out there!

Reeves

Sorry, sergeant, it's straight from Washington

No one leaves the grounds now, not anyone

As fast as we load the planes, we're gone

Gibbons

Okay! Keep quiet! don't shout!

The Ambassador won't leave till everyone's out

The choppers're on their way, there's room for you all

Troy

They're climbing over the wall!

Get back!

Marines

Get back! I tell you, don't shout

The Ambassador won't leave till everyone's out

Nolan

The Ambassador just sent an order to freeze

Huston

That's it! No more Vietnamese! Get in!

Kim

I'm the wife of a soldier

Please, let me through!

Help me, who must I pay?

Tell me what I must do

Chris

Let me out, I have got to go back to my bride!

Kim

Listen, someone! My husband is waiting inside!

Chris

Please Kim

Hear the phone

I can't get there

Please be home

Kim

Please Chris

No one sees

I am lost here

Find me please

Kim & Chris

Please, get me through, I don't care how

Don't take my love away, not now

Kim

Oh, Chris

I can't get free

Still I'm with you

Wait for me

Chris

Oh Kim

Please get free

I am with you

Wait for me

Frye

Sorry sergeant, inside the Embassy!

We are pulling out now and there will be no more reprieves

Chris

I got till the old man leaves!

John

Chris, don't be a ass

The Ambassador is leaving now

Vietnamese 1

Take me with you!

Take my children!

Kim

I have a letter, look!

Vietnamese 2

I helped the CIA!

Crowd

They'll kill who they find here!

Don't leave us behind here!

Vietnamese 3

I've a wife who left already!

Vietnamese 4

I have an aunt in New York!

Vietnamese 5

I have gold, I can pay!

Crowd

There is no one to find here!

They have left us behind here!

Kim

I must get in there, listen, anyone!

Please tell my husband... look! I have his gun!

Vietnamese 6

Out of my way, if that's all that you've got!

Crowd

If I am here when they come, I'll be shot!

Chris

Let me go, John, I can't leave her

Why in the world should I be saved instead of her?

Crowd

They'll kill who they find here!

Don't leave us behind here!

John

It's not you, it's the war that's cruel

And if some dreams get smashed, perhaps it's best they were

Kim & crowd

There is no one to find here!

They have left us behind here!

John

Wake up, my friend, your mercy trip has failed

There's nothing you can do, that ship has sailed

She's not the only one we'll have betrayed

Crowd

Get to the roof, or else we are betrayed!

Kim

Oh, Chris

I still believe

The heart of you

Is here with me

My heart, against all odds holds still
