Old misfortune 
Adorned in dirty sweats 
Sits statuesque 
Eats a meal at the appeal 
Of a shelter's steps 
Rises slowly knowing wholly 
That a plate of cold chow mein 
Isn't quite the sugar cane 
A girl expected 

In the market 
We're a thousand aisles away 
To find the deal 
Sorely stuck in line 
For the fine print to reveal 
Just exactly what we owe 
Before we're free to take 
What we need 
No we don't need a receipt 

Greetings from Little Saigon 
Where we've never seen the dawn 
Where Saigons will be Saigons 
Greetings from Little Saigon 

Where nightmares come 
And nightmares go 
But dreams may last forever 
So put your empty hand in mine 
Let's deaf drunk stumble 
Down the storyline 
Take the stage and play it proud 
It's only church if it's fuckin loud 

Aye 
If you get lost on your way home 
Greetings from little saigon 

Busted English 
Broken English from the gullets of the drunks 
By the gutters where the ships they sailed have now sunk 
It's a deathly sort of living 
For these lights that hang too low 
Where's the hope 
If you hide what you know 

Now settle up 
It's last call at the Blue Moon 
Bleed to the park 
And in the dark with all the marks 
That inform your heart 
You'll come crashing through a sadness 
That's been here since long before you 
Now is time for your new debut 

Greetings from Little Saigon 
Where we've never seen the dawn 
Where Saigons will be Saigons 
Greetings from Little Saigon 

Where nightmares come 
And nightmares go 
But dreams may last forever 
So put your stupid hand in mine 
Let's deaf drunk stumble 
Through the chorus line 
Take the stage and play it proud 
It's only church if it's fuckin loud 

Aye 
If you get lost on your way home 
Here's your home 
Greetings from Little Saigon
