[Soldiers:]
Over the top we go
Yey yuh yair yuh ye-uh
Over the top we go
Yey yey year yuh ye-ah
[Iron Man:]
I've no idea where my life began
But I am a fearless Iron Man
I lost my arm
I lost my eyes
I broke my feet
I bruised my thighs
My head's on a cliff
Hanging from a tree
My neck's on the beach
With my elbow and knee
Over the top we go
Yey yuh yair yuh ye-uh
Over the top we go
Yey yey year yuh ye-ah
My eye looked around
Discovered my hand
Together they uncovered
My arm in the sand
All the pieces of me
Came together as one
And we all dance forever
In the morning sun
Over the top we go
Yey yuh yair yuh ye-uh
Over the top we go
Yey yey year yuh ye-ah
I've no idea where my maker ran
But I am a fearless Iron Man
[4x]
Over the top we go
Yey yuh yair yuh ye-uh
Over the top we go
Yey yey year yuh ye-ah
