Goodnight Saigon - Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - 2006

We met as soulmates
 On Parris Inland
 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 homefront
 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
 So dark at night
 And we held onto 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
 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
 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
 On Parris Island
 We held the coastline
 They held the highland
 And they were sharp
 As sharp as knives
 They heard the hum of the mortars
 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
