Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Loading up the battery, raising up insanity

Beating out the old time blues

Crawling up the walls, sleeping on a waterfall

Belting out that tune

Strike one, strike two

Set your guns ablaze

Strike three, call emergency

You're gonna play it safe

Speeding up the road

Tearing up the Highway Code

Ain't gonna slow me down

No need to hesitate

Ain't coming up late

Hit the brakes, don't mess with fate

Hard fight, rough night

Dead in your sight

Fire light, fire bright

Fire in the night

Station to station

Yeah, code red

Battle stations

Ooh, code red

Weapons ready

Code red

Fire one, fire two

Code red

Now pay attention!

Reputation on your mind

Enemy within your sight

Fire up, fire straight, fire free

Situation on the line

In the pale moon light

Run quick, run silent, run deep

Hard fight, rough night

Dead in your sight

Fire light, fire bright

Fire in the night

Station to station

Yeah, code red

Battle stations

Code, code red

Weapons ready

Code red

Fire one, fire two

Code red

Station to station

Yeah, code red

Battle stations

Code, code red

Weapons ready

Code red

Fire one, fire two

Code red

Hey, code red

Code red, hey!
