I’m the Payload Songtext
von Morlocks

It was back in the days in the outer rims, one night
I was high on life and drunk as fuck, it was quite all right
What a perfect evening for a grand theft spacecraft
Up up and away, keep the cops at bay, yo ho

Yo-ho!

There′s always someone that will hunt me out of greed
As the saying goes
Yeah! Bad news travel in hyper speed

She's on a killing spree and there she flies
With artificial red hair and augmented eyes
I′m up for grabs, she's in for a fight
She wants me dead or in carbonite

She does whatever it takes to receive her payment
She's a ruthless bail enforcement agent
I′m astray and misled, there′s a bounty on my head
I'm the payload

The first time that I met her, well what could I do?
I was lying in a puddle of alien goo


There was heat in the air and I think she felt it too
A cybernetic goddess in sparkling armour
Said "I want you"

I was tipsy but fine
Just a little groggy
I went out of line
And I offered my body

She cocked her gun
With a face filled with dread
And said she only wanted my head

That′s when my heart did melt in the asteroid belt
It was the weirdest feeling that I've ever felt
These bounty hunters, it′s hard to resist them
As I'm wanted in twentythree different systems

I′m a reckless rogue
Feel my laser vogue
I barely got away and now I am her prey
And the payload

Dashing through the meteor showers
Accelerating on maximum power
Just give up, throw your hands up and hang on
I've got plenty of bombs and fiftyseven cannons


Pow! I'm faster than light
Lock on target, in my line of sight
In space noone can hear you scream
I′ve got you in my tractor beam

Full speed energy shuttle thruster
You′re the payload, I'm your buster
1 2 3
I′ll shoot you down
Shoot you down
Get this
I'LL SHOOT YOU DOWN
Down down down
I′LL SHOOT YOU DOWN

I'm hit and I am running out of fuel
Abandon ship
Now, how could she be so cruel?

Diving headfirst straight into a black hole is suicide
So I fire up my jetpack with a flick of the switch and go
(Baby go baby baby go go)

I′m a rocket man, I'm flying free
Make way for my trajectory
She's a missile queen, she′s in pursuit
And en route

And I′m trying hard
But I can't believe my luck as
I ride shotgun in her starship, motherfuckers
I′m in love at gunpoint on the milky road
I'm the payload

I was caught in a crash, she only wants me for cash
And if she turns her back I will be gone in a flash
Our love affair is strictly monetary
She′s my intergalactic adversary
