Top-Gun
Scram C Baby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
united top gun simulators
get the lipstick off your joystick
off the windows of your cabin
stay calm on your side of the sky
I know a way to get things down
you need someone to protect you
you're the top gun super fighter
get the cockpit in your pocket
and your airbag full of hairspray
when you lock heat
you'll spit fire
