Propeller Salute

[Verse 1] Hey, Blade Dancer, step right in Zaun-born spark with a steel-lit grin Brother to Jinx and Vi, I’ve heard You make a blade work like a live wire’s word I’m Corki, babe, check the chassis, check I love a good contraption under stress If the rivets sing and the casing bends That’s just the fun part, where the fun begins [Pre-Chorus] You flip, you feint, you cut, you slide Dirty hands and a genius guide I like a wrench, I like a boom I like a little combustion in the room [Chorus] Welcome to the roster, blast and glide Welcome to the roster, blade by side Make it hurt, then make it fly Engineering gets better when things go sky Welcome to the roster, sparks and steel Welcome to the roster, bite and wheel If it pops, then that’s my cue I’m delighted to meet a tinkerer like you [Verse 2] Acrobatic footwork, angle set Load the spring, then break the net Feint with fire, crouch, then strike Clamp that centerline, then hit it twice Explosive gadgets tucked in your coat Small brass works and a smuggler’s note You know the joy of a perfect fuse And the sweet little curse when the casing bruises [Spoken Section] Now listen here, son— an engineer’s heart is simply a well-behaved disaster with good tolerances. You understand. You know that a mechanism becomes far more interesting after something has taken flight. [Pre-Chorus] You spin, you dive, you split, you grin A little chaos lets the daylight in I like torque, I like heat I like a nasty little trick up the sleeve of a beat [Chorus] Welcome to the roster, blast and glide Welcome to the roster, blade by side Make it hurt, then make it fly Engineering gets better when things go sky Welcome to the roster, sparks and steel Welcome to the roster, bite and wheel If it pops, then that’s my cue I’m delighted to meet a tinkerer like you [Bridge] Fire magic in the palm of your hand Dirty fighting, tight as a bolt thread band Rake the guard, then break the stance Turn a scrap-yard brawl into a dancer’s dance I’ve seen clean work, I’ve seen loud work I’ve seen a hover craft kiss the dirt But you? You’re a lovely, lethal proof That every elegant machine needs a little proof of boom [Chorus] Welcome to the roster, blast and glide Welcome to the roster, blade by side Make it hurt, then make it fly Engineering gets better when things go sky Welcome to the roster, sparks and steel Welcome to the roster, bite and wheel If it pops, then that’s my cue I’m delighted to meet a tinkerer like you [Outro] Corki says yes To the hex of the mess Corki says yes When the gears get stressed Blade Dancer, stay a while Let’s make the blueprint smile If it pops, if it sparks, if it tears right through— That’s the part I was hoping for too
