Run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high

Got to get up for the coming attack
Remove all the wheel blocks there's no time to waste
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Ten ME-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them

Let off a sharp burst, then turn away
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers

Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Running, scrambling, flying
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high, aces high
Gotta get airborne before it's too late
Heading straight for them, I press down my guns
Roll over, spin 'round, come in behind them
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines

Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying

Rolling, turning, diving
