Soldier Of Fortune Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

Before the jungle closes in a letter to America 

The candles are a cocoa hue 

Inside the room of missing men 

100 mercenary souls 

Ohh 

We are the army of the night 

Ohh 

One foot in front of the other babe 

One baby step, I, I, I, I 

Feel a soldier of fortune 

Marching inside of me 

We drink our gin in Mandalay 

Afraid of what we have become 

This is the moment of intrigue 

Ohh 

A tiger dreaming of his prey 

Ohh 

This is the edge of history 

One foot in front of the other babe 

One baby step, I, I, I, I 

Feel a soldier of fortune 

Marching inside of me 

One foot in front of the other babe 

One baby step, I, I, I, I 

Feel a soldier of fortune 

Marching inside of me 

One foot in front of the other babe 

One baby step, I, I, I, I 

Feel a soldier of fortune 

Marching inside of me
