Jet-Star And The Kobra Kid / Traffic Report
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It looks like Jet-Star and the Kobra kid
Had a clap with an exterminator that went all Costa Rica
And uh, got them selves ghosted, dusted out on route Guano
So it's time to hit the red-line and up thrust the volume out there
Keep your boots tight, keep your gun close
And die with your mask on if you've got to
Here is the traffic
The lyrics to "Jet-Star and the Kobra Kid/Traffic Report" by My Chemical Romance tell the story of two characters, Jet-Star and Kobra Kid, who have gotten into some trouble. The first line, "Bad news from the zones tumbleweeds," refers to the Zones, which is a dangerous, post-apocalyptic world that the characters live in. The reference to tumbleweeds suggests a desolate and empty landscape.
The next line states that Jet-Star and Kobra Kid have had a clash with an exterminator that went all Costa Rica, meaning it escalated to a violent and chaotic level. They have been "ghosted" or killed, and their bodies have been left on a remote road, Route Guano.
The rest of the lyrics encourage listeners to keep their guard up and be prepared for danger in the Zones. They urge people to keep their boots tight and their guns close, and if necessary, to die with their masks on.
The song's lyrics are part of an overarching concept album called "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys" that tells the story of a group of rebels in a dystopian society.
The inspiration for the song came from frontman Gerard Way's love for the Mad Max film series.
The "red-line" referred to in the lyrics refers to the speedometer in a car, and hitting the red-line means to drive as fast as possible.
The song was written and recorded in one day.
"Jet-Star and the Kobra Kid" are characters in the album's story, but they were not previously featured in any of the band's songs.
The song's title is a reference to a traffic report, which is interrupted by the chaos in the Zones.
The music video for the song features an appearance by comic book legend Grant Morrison.
The song was not released as a single, but it was performed live during the band's "World Contamination" tour in 2011.
