Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : JOEL, BILLY
[00:04.76] Goodnight Saigon
[00:07.48]
[01:01.73] We met as soul mates
[01:06.42] On Parris Islands
[01:10.17] We left as inmates
[01:13.66] From an asylum
[01:17.51] And we were sharp
[01:21.23] As sharp as knives
[01:24.91] And we were so gung ho
[01:28.00] To lay down our lives
[01:30.40]
[01:32.57] We came in spastic
[01:35.78] Like tameless horses
[01:39.38] We left in plastic
[01:43.13] As numbered corpses
[01:46.97] And we learned fast
[01:50.04] To travel light
[01:54.27] Our arms were heavy
[01:56.88] But our bellies were tight
[01:59.89]
[02:12.31] We had no home front
[02:16.77] We had no soft soap
[02:20.33] They sent us Playboy
[02:24.33] They gave us Bob Hope
[02:27.92] We dug in deep
[02:31.49] And shot on sight
[02:35.34] And prayed to Jesus Christ
[02:37.97] With all of our might
[02:40.79]
[02:43.33] We had no cameras
[02:46.37] To shoot the landscape
[02:50.20] We passed the hash pipe
[02:53.92] And played our Doors tapes
[02:57.70] And it was dark
[03:01.54] So dark at night
[03:03.76]
[03:05.16] And we held on to each other
[03:08.34] Like brother to brother
[03:13.49] We promised our mothers we'd write
[03:20.70] And we would all go down together
[03:27.04] We said we's all go down together
[03:34.02] Yes we would all go down together
[03:39.71]
[03:51.25] Remember Charlie
[03:55.91] Remember Baker
[03:59.77] They left their childhood
[04:03.17] On every acre
[04:06.86] And who was wrong?
[04:10.70] And who was right?
[04:14.24] It didn't matter in the thick
[04:18.31] Of the fight
[04:20.10]
[04:27.15] We held the day
[04:33.23] In the palm
[04:36.87] Of our hand
[04:41.80] They ruled the night
[04:47.75] And the night
[04:51.65] Seemed to last as long as
[04:56.24] Six weeks on Parris Islands
[05:01.09]
[05:02.27] We held the coastline
[05:05.52] They held the highlands
[05:09.36] And they were sharp
[05:12.53] As sharp as knives
[05:16.53] They heard the hum of our motors
[05:20.71] They counted the rotors
[05:24.56] And waited for us to arrive
[05:29.10]
[05:31.44] And we would all go down together
[05:38.07] We said we'd all go down together
[05:45.22] Yes we would all go down together
[05:51.07]
[05:54.57]
[05:58.30]
