Rules of engagement


Let’s fly around the world
really put our hearts in it this time
Lock emergency exits
Slash the life jackets and all rubber boats
Cut the wires from our oxygen masks
Smash the radio unfasten our seatbelts
Eyes locked in blind rock ‘n roll faith

Let us trust let us fight
Love till we bleed
Salty sweat and sticky tears
Stitches and vaselined eyebrows
Skin bruised and scratched
Black eyes locked, not letting go

Don’t want no shootout
No cold sweaty hands
Or porcelain concentration
Anticipating every move
Listening for the slightest irregularity in your footsteps
Making sure it’s my finger that pulls the trigger first
A slowmotion bullet
Eyes locked as one of us drops

Cause if we must go down
Let’s go down in history
Let’s go down in style
And let us go together

A crash with no survivors
A double knockout
A big fucking bang
