The Cobra Maneuver

Flying in a circuit
Air pockets and turbulence
Your own incompetence
You can't seem to circumvent

Right down to the wire
Am I catching fire

You're spinning fast it's hemoglobin's head now
You're paranoid and fighting for your life
Another lap the g-force hits your heart valves
You aren't sure if you're going to survive

Dials screaming overdrive, pilot seats, and open sky
Missile fire flying by I can hear
Buzzing of a thousand flies
Ringing like a pulsatile
Dial-tone that's amplified in my ear

Knew you couldn't do it
First you faked it, then you blew it
There's really nothing to it
Complicate it and you'll lose it

Map your flights from safe domain
There's no way you could fly a plane
Shield your head from outer space
This ground's the only fitting place

And don't you ever wonder
About what's up above ya

Cause I won't wait to take you down
My guided missile's launching now
Up here there's room for only one
Do an Immelmann, catch your pessimism then
Throw it at the missile and fly into your new horizon

Crosswinds and deterrents
Frequencies of negligence
Should have stayed on the land
It's too late to comprehend

Right down to the wire
Am I catching Fire

Warheads in your view
It's a blitz ballistic and it's programmed to fly straight and true
Creeping up on you
You should've listened to me when I said I'd send you to your tomb
Counting down your doom
Always locked and loaded now I'm ready to destroy your crew
Nothing left to do
It's objective truth you'll never liberate from your own negative view

Just wait
And I'll show you I control my fate
You'll pay
I'll never let you blow me away

Just wait
And I'll show you I control my fate
You'll pay
I'll never let you blow me away

Flying in a circuit
You'll find you can't circumvent

Your own fatal tumor
Can you outmaneuver

Warheads in your view
It's a blitz ballistic and it's programmed to fly straight and true
Creeping up on you
You should've listened to me when I said I'd send you to your tomb
Counting down your doom
Always locked and loaded now I'm ready to destroy your crew
Nothing left to do
It's objective truth you'll never liberate from your own negative view

You think I can't escape
Watch me stall in the air and dynamically decelerate
There's no trap you create
That can keep me apprehended
I won't let your weaponry detonate
