Alan Cumming - Goodnight Saigon (Live) lyrics

[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 pa**ed 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
