Helmet on crooked Mobiglas glow in my face Staring down contracts Words all slide out of place Spilling my beer on the hotkey row Hit cruise instead of brakes Comms light up with a thousand pings “Who let this clown in the wake?” I’m too tossed up to dogfight But I punch launch anyway Spooling drive with a stupid grin (we go, we go, we go) Spinning out through the starlight Wrong key every play I keep blacking out the HUD Then I mash respawn again Hover over “claim” on the crime screen Can’t remember what I did Someone yelling “check your power!” Yeah, I’m busy finding my cig Line up a shot, it’s a perfect run Then I sneeze and tag a friend Now the whole squad hunting my marker down Laughing they’ll camp me again I’m too tossed up to dogfight But I punch launch anyway Spooling drive with a stupid grin (we go, we go, we go) Spinning out through the starlight Wrong key every play I keep blacking out the HUD Then I mash respawn again Someday I’ll fly it sober Track targets, trim my speed Tonight I’m kissing the hangar wall And blaming the gravity If you see me drift through your firing lane Just ping and let me know I’m that wobbling dot in a starter ship Still yelling, “One more go!” I’m too tossed up to dogfight But I punch launch anyway Spooling drive with a stupid grin (we go, we go, we go) Spinning out through the starlight Wrong key every play I keep blacking out the HUD Then I mash respawn again
