War Rocket Ajax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that I done screwed up again.
Well I try and try to get myself by but I always fall back in.
And I'm, amazed yeah I'm in a daze when.
You say hey it's alright.
So I think I'll raise up a song of praise to the one I love tonight.
Countdown 5-4-3-2-1
Countdown is almost done
Well You've seen me and You've heard
Me and You've searched me from inside.
You've secured me and endured me and it's been a crazy ride
Like an astronaut on a rocket ship waitin' to blast into space.
I put the hammer down I wanna leave this town go to a better place.
