Jasen's Junk

another night of music sticking in my head in 2010

At first I was afraid
I was Pterrified!
Ducking all the flying dinos
Up in the skies
But I spent so many nights
Ducking your deadly form of fun
I found a gun
I learned to shoot and run
And so your back
In City Skies
I just walked out to find you here
With that hungry look in your eyes
I should have kept a skyward watch
I should have made Steve take watch too
If I had know for just one second
You’d be back to bite and chew.

Go on now, fly out to sea
Just fly away now
Because I won’t let you chew on me
Weren’t you the one who tried to bite
Me with your beak
You think I’d yell in terror
You think I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to shoot
I know I will stay alive.
I have got all my life to live
I have lots of bullets and a prison shiv
And I’ll survive
I will survive

It took all the skills I had
Not to die last week
Trying hard to find some food
To eat before I get get too weak.
And I spend oh so many nights
Standing watch at my front door
I used to hide
Now I shoot anything that flies.
And you don’t see me
I’m camouflaged.
I not an easy target
For your clawful death barrage
And so you felt like dropping me
Into a lava pit.
And now I’m saving all my ammo
For someone who’s hunting me.

Go on now go
Fly away home
Just turn around now
Because I’ve got you in my scope
Weren’t you the one who tried to eat me
With your scaly beak
Did you think I’d tremble?
Did you think I’d stand and cry?
Oh no, not I.
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to hide
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got lots of ammo left to give
And I’ll survive
I will survive, oh

Go on now go
Fly away home
Just turn around now
Because I’ve got you in my scope
Weren’t you the one who tried to eat me
With your scaly beak
Did you think I’d tremble?
Did you think I’d stand and cry?
Oh no, not I.

I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to hide
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got lots of ammo left to give
And I’ll survive
I will survive
I will survive…
