[Verse 1] Red lipstick, fallout glow Midnight sky, ready to go Hear the sirens, feel the heat Countdown ticking in my chest, heartbeat Static kisses through the air Danger looks good on us, I swear White lines painted on the floor Say we shouldn’t—but we want more [Pre-Chorus] They say love’s a loaded gun Say don’t touch it just for fun But if the world’s about to end tonight Why not light it up just right? [Chorus] We’re going up, up—no safety net Too fast, too close, no regrets Strike the match, feel the shine Baby buckle up, it’s Rocket 69 Boom goes the sky when you say my name Flash of gold in a burning frame Cross the line, read the sign This kind of love’s Rocket 69 [Verse 2] Leather gloves, cherry flame Play it cool but we love the game All eyes watching, don’t blink now Hands in the air, take the vow They warn us ‘bout the afterglow But I like it when it overflows If we crash, let ‘em talk We were legends when we took that walk [Pre-Chorus] They keep praying for control But we’re fire, heart and soul If the sirens start to cry Hold me close—let it fly [Chorus] We’re going up, up—no safety net Too fast, too close, no regrets Strike the match, feel the shine Baby buckle up, it’s Rocket 69 Boom goes the sky when you say my name Flash of gold in a burning frame Cross the line, read the sign This kind of love’s Rocket 69 [Bridge] If this is wrong, don’t save me now Write our names in the mushroom cloud Count it down—three, two, one Tell me, baby, are you gonna run? [Break (All, whispered then rising)] Five… four… feel it ignite Three… two… kiss me goodbye One— [Final Chorus] We’re going up, up—no looking back Hearts on fire, off the track Strike the match, cross the line Say my name—Rocket 69 When the smoke clears, we’ll still shine Love like this don’t stay in time End of the world, start of mine Yeah, this kind of love’s Rocket 69 [Outro] If we go out, we go bright Hold on tight… goodnight.
