Goodnight Saigon
Introz 54 Seconds
We met as soul mates
on Parris Island

We left as inmates

from an asylum
And we were sharp

As sharp as knives

And we were so gung-ho

to lay down our lives
We came in spastic

like tameless horses
We left in plastic

as numbered corpses
And we learned fast
to travel light

Our anns were heavy

but our bellies were tight
We had no home front
We had no Soft Soap

They sent us Playboy

They gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep
and shot on sight

And prayed to Jesus Christ

with all of our might
We had no cameras
to shoot the landscape

We passed the hash pipe

and played our Doors tapes
And it was dark

80 dark at night, night

And we held on to each other

like brother to brother
And we would all

go down together

We said we'd all

go down together
Yes, we would all

go down together
Remember Charlie

Remember Baker

They left their childhood

on every acre
And who was wrong
And who was right, right

It didn't matter

in the thick of the fight
We held the day
in the palm

of our hands

They ruled the night
And the night
seemed to last

as long as six weeks

They ruled the night
And the night

seemed to last
as long as six weeks

on Parris Island
We held the coastline

They held the highlands

And they were sharp

As sharp as knives, knives
They heard the hum

of our motors

They counted the rotors

And waited for us to arrive
And we would all

go down together

We said we'd all

And waited for us to arrive
And we would all

go down together

We said we'd all

go down together
Yes, we would all

go down together

go down together
Yes, we would all

go down together
