[Verse 1]
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out of the scramble, we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheel blocks, there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it's too late
[Pre-Chorus]
Running (Running), scrambling (Scrambling), flying (Flying)
Rolling (Rolling), turning (Turning), diving (Diving)
Going in again
Running (Running), scrambling (Scrambling), flying (Flying)
Rolling (Rolling), turning (Turning), diving (Diving)
[Chorus]
Run, live to fly
Fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, livе to fly?
Fly to live, aces high
[Verse 2]
Move in to firе at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin 'round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing away
Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them, I press down my guns
[Pre-Chorus]
Running (Running), scrambling (Scrambling), flying (Flying)
Rolling (Rolling), turning (Turning), diving (Diving)
Going in again
Rolling (Rolling), turning (Turning), diving (Diving)
Rolling (Rolling), turning (Turning), diving (Diving)
[Chorus]
Run, live to fly
Fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, live to fly?
Fly to live, aces high
