Intro (x2) verse 1 (All power chords but played with open E until main riff) Watch me jumpstart as the old skin is peeled See an opening and bust into the field Hidden longings no longer concealed Watch me bulldoze every bulldozer away Each new obstacle from each old new day Where it's going, it's hard for me to say And shoot me down And bring me down But I won't be around As you run through the places you love I'll remember the faces that cry And they're pulling me back so I have to die verse 2 And watch me jumpstart at the first light of day Each new sensation just blows me away Don't look now, don't look now, I'm a phase Straight from ground zero, X marks the spot I can't pretend to be something I'm not 'Cause I'm a supernova, erect and white hot And shoot me down And bring me down But I won't be around As you run through the places you love I'll remember the faces that cry And they're pulling me back so I have to die verse 3 And watch me jumpstart, I'm Maximum Jack Shot through the cosmos like an alien attack Film finished, fade into black Outro (x4)
