I notice it's in English now instead of the Swedish "FARA"... Hungarians I knew used to laugh about that, because "fara" in Hungarian means "its rear", so they'd joke that the Swedes need an arrow to know where the plane's tail is...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...

Day-glo, day-glo
Daylight come and we want to trail a target
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-glo
Daylight come and we want to trail a target
