Band: Iron Maiden
Album: No Prayer for the Dying
Song: Tailgunner

Trace your way back to 50 years
To the glow of Dresden - blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel starlight
Men will die and men will fight - yeah!
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthrirst
No radar lock on - skin and bone

Climb into the sky
Never wonder why - tailgunner
You're a tailgunner
You're a tailgunner

Nail that fokker kill that son
Gonna 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 Tailgunner's gone
No more Bombers (just one big bomb)
