Lyrics
Introverse 1
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
Verse 2
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 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 on to each other like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
Chorus 1
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Verse 3
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
Bridge
We held the day in the palm of our hand
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last
Verse 4
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 the motors they counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
Chorus 2
