VIVIAN GIRLS
(Austin Hughes, Tati Nguyen, Corin See - © Austin Hughes Music, ASCAP)

Carry on my Vivian girls
Find your way in this treacherous world
Lifted from a magazine and dropped into the war
May your paper doll armies endure

Black-eyed soldiers on the wild
Haven’t slept now in 500 nights
Underneath a blue sky I see terror in your eyes
In these troubled times the innocent must fight

Caught between 3 firing lines
Guns and mortars blaze through the night
Pouting in the face of danger only to escape
To a wilderness of butterflies and snakes

Danger lurks my little lamb
Even you cannot save this broken land
Dirty spoon for eating and a dirty glass for wine
Seems we all hide a meanness in our smile

Strange things are goin’ down
God almighty no longer around
Luck is a solemn word for ignorance my child
Let us leave this place lest we die
