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 whet the bloodthirst
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
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecast's good for war
Cologne and Frankfurt? Have some more, hahaha!

Tail-end Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this tail gunner's gone
No more bombers, just one big bomb, yeah, hey, ooh

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
