Goodnight Saigon (Live)

[Verse 1]
We met as soulmates on Parris island
We left as inmates from an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so [?]
To lay down our lives
We came in spastic
As tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight
We had no homefront
We had no soft soap
They sent us playboy
They gave us Bob hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And played to Jesus Christ
With all of our might
We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
We played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we [?] [?] each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we’d write

[Chorus]
And we would all go down together
We said we’d all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

[Verse 2]
Remember Charlie?
Remember Baker?
They left their childhoods
On every acre
And who was wrong
And who was right?
It didn’t matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day
In the palm of our hands
They held the nights
And the night,seem to last as long as six weeks
On Parris island
We held the coastline
They held the highlands
And they were sharp
So sharp as knives
They heard the [?] of the motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive

[Chorus]
And we would all go down together
We said we’d all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

[Spoken]
Clapping and yelling (background)
Thank you very much
Thank you
Thank you
Hehe
