[Verse 1]

Indochina: Capa jumps Jeep

Two feet creep up the road

To photo, to record, meat lumps and war

They advance as does his chance

(Ooh) Very yellow-white flash

A violent wrench grips mass

Rips light, tears limbs like rags

Burst so high, finally Capa lands

Mine is a watery pit

Painless with immense distance

From medic, from colleague, friend, enemy, foe

Him five yards from his leg


[Chorus]

From you, Taro

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Do not spray into eyes

I have sprayed you into my eyes


[Verse 2]

3:10 pm: Capa pends death

Quivers, last rattles, last chokes

All colours and cares glaze to grey

Shriveled and stricken to dots

The left hand grasps what the body grasps not

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Le photographe est mort

3.1415, alive, no longer my amour

Fated for home, May of '54

Doors open like arms, my love

Painless with a great closeness

To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing

Reunited with his leg


[Chorus]

And with you, Taro

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Taro, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Do not spray into eyes

I have sprayed you into my eyes


[Outro]

Hey, Taro!
