Iron Maiden - Tailgunner Lyrics

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 wet the blood thirst
No radar lock on skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home

Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner

Nail that Fokker kill that son
Gotta blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecasts 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 tail gunner's gone
No more bombers, one big bomb, yeah whoo!

Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why
Tail gunner, you're a tail gunner
