Lyrics:
Our Love is Like a Big Red Rocket
(Dedicated to Johnny Knoxville and Jackasses in Love everywhere)
Lyrics by John W. Leys; Music by Elijah K. Wilbury

Its something only a jackass would start
This Knoxville styled undertaking
Who'd have thought that after all we've been through
That our hearts are still capable of breaking?

Chorus
Our love is like a big red rocket
Searching for a place to land
'Cos even if this bitch don't explode on us
There aren't a lot of good ways for this to end

Straddling this rocket like a cartoon coyote
Ready to launch ourselves into the sky
Aware of—but giggling at—the possibility
That this could be the way we die

Every bit of this is wrong
But you feel so right
Can't you feel the thrill
As this rocket takes flight?

Chorus

As we reach the apex of our trajectory
Flying far too close to the Sun
Thinking 'No matter what happens next,
This sure is a hell of a lotta fun!'

Chorus
