Rocket to Mongo

Verse 1

Yale boy with a polo stick

Dale beside me when the thunder hit

Meteor burning through the night

Zarkov screaming we could win this fight

Crash-landed on a red horizon

Sky on fire and the old world dying

Pre-Chorus

He built a ship from sparks and broken steel

One wild ride to make the whole world real

Chorus

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never letting go

Zarkov shouting save the Earth tonight

We're dancing on a planet at the seams

Oh Mongo

Mongo won't let go

Verse 2

Met the devils and the angels on that world

Ming the Merciless his iron flag unfurled

Aura burning bright for Flash alone

Barin's crown beneath a forest throne

Vultan's hawks come screaming from the clouds

Thun's lions growl and shake the ground

Forest kingdom sky kingdom beast and bird

All waiting for a single spoken word

Pre-Chorus

One wrong move and we could fade to dust

But every heartbeat says we must we must

Chorus

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never letting go

Zarkov shouting save the Earth tonight

We're breaking Ming's throne with all our might

Oh Mongo

Mongo won't let go

Bridge

Tournament of Ming and ray-guns glow

Aura scheming in a gown of gold

Dale caught between a love and dagger's gleam

A polo boy no more he leads a rebel dream

Mongo turns and Earth keeps drifting far

But a star became a king a king became a star

Final Chorus

Flash Gordon savior of the pulps and ink

Dale Arden the heart that made him think

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun

On Mongo we are one

Outro

Flash Gordon on the planet Mongo

To be continued

On Mongo

To be continued
