Tailgunner - Iron Maiden

Trace your way back fifty years

To the glow of Dresden, blood and tears

In the black above by the cruel searchlight

Men will die and men will fight, yeah

Who shot who and who fired first?

Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst

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 forecast’s good for war

Cologne and Frankfurt?

Have some more

Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky

The Enola Gay was my last try

Now that this Tailgunner’s gone

No more bombers, one big bomb

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
