Shore Leave


                                                Well i was pacing myself
                                                Trying to make it all last
                                                Squeezing all the life
                                                Out of a lousy two day pass 
                                                And i had a cold one at the dragon
                                                With some Fillipino floorshow
                                                And talked baseball with a lieutenant
                                                Over a Singapore sling 
                                                And i wondered how the same moon outside
                                                Over this Chinatown fair
                                                Could look down on Illinois
                                                And find you there
