I'm the Payload

It was back in the days

in the outer rims, one night

I was high on life and drunk as fuck

It was quite all right

What a perfect evening

for a grand theft spacecraft

Up up and away

Keep the cops at bay, yo ho!

There’s always someone

that will hunt me out of greed

As the saying goes, yeah:

Bad news travel in hyper speed

She’s on a killing spree and there she flies

With artificial red hair and augmented eyes

I’m up for grabs, she’s in for a fight

She wants me dead or in carbonite

 

She does whatever it takes to receive her payment

She's a ruthless bail enforcement agent

I’m astray and misled

There’s a bounty on my head

I’m the payload

The first time that I met her

Well what could I do?

I was lying in a puddle of alien goo

There was heat in the air and I think she felt it too

A cybernetic goddess in sparkling armour Said “I want you”

I was tipsy but fine

And just a little groggy

And I went out of line

And I offered my body

She cocked her gun

With a face filled with dread

And said she only wanted my head

That’s when my heart did melt in the asteroid belt

It was the weirdest feeling that I’ve ever felt

These bounty hunters It’s hard to resist them

As I’m wanted in

twenty three different systems

I’m a reckless rogue

Feel my laser vogue

I barely got away

and now I am her prey and the payload

Dashing through the meteor showers

Accelerating on maximum power

Just give up

Throw your hands up and hang on

I’ve got plenty of bombs

and fifty seven cannons

Pow! I’m faster than light

Lock on target, in my line of sight

In space no one can hear you scream

I’ve got you in my tractor beam

Full speed energy shuttle thruster

You’re the payload, I’m your buster

1 2 3, I’ll shoot you down

Shoot you down, get this

I’ll shoot you down down down down

I’ll shoot you down

I’m hit and I am running out of fuel

Abandon ship now

How could she be so cruel?

Diving headfirst straight into a black hole is suicide

So I fire up my jet pack

with a flick of the switch and go (baby go baby baby go go)

I’m a rocket man, I’m flying free

Make way for my trajectory

She’s a missile queen, she’s in pursuit and en route

And I’m trying hard

But I can’t believe my luck as

I ride shotgun in her starship, motherfuckers

I’m in love at gunpoint

On the milky road

I’m the payload

I was caught in a crash

She only wants me for cash

And if she turns her back

I will be gone in a flash

Our love affair is strictly monetary

She’s my intergalactic adversary
