Tailgunner

Trace your way back fifty years
to the glow of Dresdin blood and tears
by the black above, by the cruel search light
men will die and men will fight (yeah)
Who shot who and who fired first
dripping death to wet the blood thirst
no radar lock on skin and bone
the bomber boys are going home.

Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, you're a tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, you're a tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, you're a tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, you're a tailgunner.

Nail that Fokker, kill that son,
gonna blow your guts out with my gun
the weather forcasts' good for war
Cologne or Frankfurt, have some more
Tail-end Charlie in the boiling sky
the enola Gaye was my last try
now that this tailgunner's gone
no more bullets, just one big bomb.

Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, you're a tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, your a tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, you're a tailgunner.
Climb into the sky, never wonder why,
tailgunner, you're a tailgunner.
