Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you give the world a twist
Just by doing the twist?
At the moment the bomb went off
They were playing Purple Haze
[Verse 2]
I met Robert at his restaurant
Septième arrondissement
The Doors still echo in the jungle
He said, "Your mother brought back 45s from Paris in '65
And we learned ʼem note for note"
Some broken English Rolling Stones
Fenders, girls, and dope
America provides
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, Saigon teens
Oh, oh, Saigon teens
[Verse 4]
Can you give the world a twist
Just by doing the twist?
Can you save the world with acid rock?
I didn't know my mother's maiden name
That time in Texas when we was detained
And I've been back to old Saigon
But how much of you is lost
When they change your name?
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, Saigon teens
Oh, oh, Saigon teens
Oh, oh, Saigon teens
Oh, oh, Saigon teens
[Verse 6]
And it was half a world away
The band got back on stage
Four decades to the day
Purple Haze
