[Verse 1] Wake to red text on the visor New mark blinkin' in my HUD Credit count stuck on empty Ship still taste like rust and blood Scan the board Their face is frozen Blue tint Grainy Cheap ID Crosshair scribbled where their name is Guess they’re riding home with me [Chorus] Dead or docked I get paid the same Tag the hull Run the name Chase the flame I don’t pray I just play the game Out here I’m the law they can’t outrun Dead or docked I just want that sum Lock them in Jump to black Job is done [Verse 2] Track the wake through broken beacons Ghosts of wrecks just driftin' by Comms are filled with busted rumors Every pirate swears they fly Heat spike—there you are You’re burning The quantum trail turns sharp and thin Cut the lights Slide in your shadow Feel my heartbeat match the spin [Chorus] Dead or docked I get paid the same Tag the hull Run the name Chase the flame I don’t pray I just play the game Out here I’m the law they can’t outrun Dead or docked I just want that sum Lock them in Jump to black Job is done [Bridge] You hail first Voice all shaking “Look I’m broke I’ve paid enough” But the contract’s carved in metal And the ‘verse don’t care ‘bout love So I cage you in my cargo Turn for home Just one more run Watch your planet fade to pinprick As the system swallows sun [Chorus] Dead or docked I get paid the same Tag the hull Run the name Chase the flame I don’t pray I just play the game Out here I’m the law they can’t outrun Dead or docked I just want that sum Lock them in Jump to black Job is done
