ME 262
Blue Öyster Cult
(Göring's on the phone from Freiburg)
Says Willie's done quite a job
(Hitler's on the phone from Berlin)
Says I'm gonna make you a star
My Captain Von Ondine here's your next patrol
A flight of English bombers across the canal
After twelve they'll all be here
(I think you know the job)
They hung there dependent from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
(In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb)
Sometimes I'd faint and be lost to our side
(But there's no reward for failure) but death
So watch me in mirrors keep me on a glide path
Get me through these radars no I cannot fail
While my great silver slugs are eager to feed
I can't fail
No not now
(When twenty-five bombers wait ripe)
They hung there dependent from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
(ME two-sixty-two prince of turbojet)
Junkers Jumo Oh Oh Four
(Blasts from clustered R4/M quartets in my snout)
And see these English planes go burn
Well you be my witness how red were the skies
When the fortresses flew for the very last time
It was dark over Westphalia
(In April of 'forty-five)
They hung there dependent from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
(Junkers Jumo Oh Oh Four)
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
(Junkers Jumo Oh Oh Four)
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
(Junkers Jumo Oh Oh Four)
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
(Junkers Jumo Oh Oh Four)
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
(Junkers Jumo Oh Oh Four)
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
(Junkers Jumo Oh Oh Four)
(Bombers at twelve o'clock high)
