Goering's on the phone from freiburg<br>Says willie's done quite a job<br>Hitler's on the phone from berlin<br>Says I'm gonna make you a star<br><br>My captain von ondine is your next patrol<br>A flight of english bombers across the canal<br>After twelve they'll all be here<br>I think you know the job<br><br>They hung there dependant from the sky<br>Like some heavy metal fruit<br>These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt<br>Must these englishmen live that I might die<br>Must they live that I might die<br><br>In a g-load disaster from the rate of climb<br>Sometimes I'd faint and be lost to our side<br>But there's no reward for failure - but death<br>So watch me in mirrors keep in the glidepath<br><br>Get me through these radars, no, I cannot fail<br>While my great silver slugs are eager to feed<br>I can't fail - no, not now<br>When twenty five bombers wait ripe<br><br>They hung there dependant from the sky<br>Like some heavy metal fruit<br>These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt<br>Must these englishmen live that I might die<br>Must they live that I might die<br><br>Me-262 prince of turbojet<br>Junker's jumo 004<br>Blasts from clustered r4m quartets in my snout<br>And see these english planes go burn<br><br>Well, you be my witness, how red were the skies<br>When the fortresses flew for the very last time<br>It was dark over westphalia<br>In april of '45<br><br>They hung there dependant from the sky<br>Like some heavy metal fruit<br>These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt<br>Must these englishmen live that I might die<br>Must they live that I might die<br><br>Must these englishmen live that I might die...junker's jommo 004<br><br>Bombers at 12 o'clock high
