E
Loading up the battery
Raising up insanity
Beating out the old-time blues
Crawling up the walls
Sleeping on a waterfall
Belting off that tune

A                    E
Strike one, strike two
Set your guns ablaze
Strike three, call emergency
A                     B
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 comin' up late
And hit the brakes
Don’t mess with fate

Hot fight, rough night
Dead in your sight
Fire light, fire bright
Fire in the night

Chorus:
  D          G
Station to station
 G     D    A
Yeah, code red
 D       G
Battle stations
G     D    A
Ooh, code red
 D       G
Weapons ready
G D   A
Code red
 D         G
Fire one, fire two
G D   A
Code red

Now pay attention

Reputation on your mind,
enemy within your sight
Fire up, fire straight, fire free
Situation on your mind in the pale moonlight
Run quick, run silent, run deep

Hot fight, rough night
Dead in your sight
Fire light, fire bright
Fire in the night

Chorus:
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
