Fighter Pilot Songtext
von John Cale

Fighter pilot
Fighter pilot
Fighter pilot

Fighter pilot, you′re losing the war again
When will you ever learn?
Fighter pilot, you're making a big mistake
And setting a bad example

Fighter pilot, tell me about your life, and are the children well?
Fighter pilot, what do you do with yourself at night?
When will you ever learn?

Fighter pilot
Fighter pilot
Fighter pilot

Fighter pilot, it′s a summer of thunderstorms
The sky is black and blue
You're a hero now
But you're a terrible man, fighter pilot


Fighter pilot
Fighter pilot
Fighter pilot

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Bandits here, bandits there, angels at ten o′clock
You′re going down
Fighter pilot, say goodbye
You're never coming in to land
(You′re going down, you're going down)

Fighter pilot, say goodbye
You′re going down (you're going down, you′re going down)
Fighter pilot (you're going down)
Say goodbye (you're going down, you′re going down)
You′re going down (you're going down, you′re going down)

Fighter pilot, say goodbye
You're going down (you′re going down, you're going down)
Fighter pilot, say goodbye
