lyrics

ALWAYS AN UNRULY CHILD
I WAS PRONE TO SCRAPS
PUTTING MY CHEST OUT
AT THE BIGGER CHAPS
THEN I FLEW AN AEROPLANE
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A LAUGH
TO TAP THE GROUND WITH MY LEFT WING
THEN I HAD THE CRASH

AND NOW IT SEEMS I'M HALF THE MAN
CAN THIS BE A TEST?
WHO SAY'S THAT I CAN'T FLY A PLANE
LET ME TAKE THE TEST
AT SIX HUNDRED FEET I FLY
LOWER THAN THE REST
PUT 8 GUNS ON A SPITFIRE
THEN I'LL DO THE REST

I'VE GOT MORE HEIGHT.
I COME FROM THE SUN.
ON TOP OF YOU.
YOUR TIME IS DONE!

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

DARK CLOUDS RISING IN THE EAST
JUST START ME UP AND I'LL GET RIGHT TO IT!
WHEN THE SKY IS FULL OF WOLVES
WE NEED A BOMBARDIER WITH SILVER BULLETS!
STEEL AND BLOOD FALL FROM THE SKY
I CHOP YOU UP THEN FLY RIGHT THROUGH IT.
PUT MONEY ON DOG'SBODY
THEN SIT AND COLLECT 'CAUSE IT'S A SURE BET!

WHEN THEY TOOK MY LEGS FROM ME
I WAS FASHIONED METAL WINGS (OF DEATH!!!)!!!!!
