Aces High

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
there comes the sound of the gun sending flack
out for the scramble we 've got to ger airborn
got to get up for the coming attack
jump in the cockpit and start up the engine
remove all the wheel blocks there's no time to waste
gathering speed as we head down the runway
got to get airborn before it's too late.

running (running), scrambling (scrambling), flying (flying)

run, live to fly, fly to livedo or die
why don't you run, live to fly fly to live,
aces high

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
let off a sharp burst and then turn away
roll over, spin round to come in behind them
move to their blind sides and fire in again
bandits at eight o'clock move in behind us
10ME 109's out of the sun
ascending and turning our spitfires to faces them
hheading straight for them I press down my guns

rolling (rolling), turning (turning), diving (diving)
rolling (rolling), turning (turning), diving (diving)

run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die,
why don't you run, live to fly, fly to live,
aces high.
