Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 arms 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 our might
  • We had no cameras
  • To shoot the landscape
  • We passed the hash pipe
  • And played our Doors tapes
  • And it was dark
  • So dark at night
  • And we held on to each other
  • Like brother to brother
  • We promised our mothers we'd write
  • And we would all go down together
  • We said we'd all go down together
  • Remember Charlie
  • Remember Baker
  • They left their childhood
  • 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 hand
  • 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
  • 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 go down together
  • Yes we would all go down together
