Goodnight Siagon Lyrics

Goodnight Siagon

 Billy Joel

 (Greatest Hits Volume 1 And Ii)

 

 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
