Emu's Zoomies - v8 - Unknown Rulers of the Planet

industrial, sitcom, working-class anthem

[Pre-Chorus]
Dust clouds kicking up inside the hall
Rebounding wildly right off of the wall
No steering wheel, no brakes in sight
Just pure avian kinetic might

[Chorus]
And they're off on a tear through the laminate floor!
A collective impulse they cannot ignore!
The single brain cell is on fire today!
Propelling them forward in a zig-zag display!
Don't look at the map, don't ask for the plan!
They're faster than physics, they do what they can!
Zoomies are pulsing from head down to toe!
Where the single cell leads, that's where they must go!

[Verse 2]
They stood down the army back in '32
There was nothing the Lewis gunner could do
They out-flanked the trucks with a feathered finesse
Leaving the generals in absolute distress
Now they run on the grid in a perfect straight line
A display of a power that's purely divine
They don't need no crown and they don't need no throne
When the whole of the planet is already their zone

[Guitar Solo - Chaotic & Jangly]

[Verse 3]
Passing the thought back and forth like a ball
From the paddock down to the main entrance hall
One gets a spark and the other three bolt
A five-hundred-pound feathered high-voltage jolt
They don't know why, they don't know where
They just sprint through the static air
Left turn, right turn, sudden full stop
Before the invisible beat drops!

[Outro]
They stop on a dime and they look to the sky
With a blank little look in a big yellow eye
The connection is broken, the circuit is dead
Till the next frantic impulse pops into their head
Unknown rulers, ruling the show
Wherever they're running is where we will go...

[Verse 1] Got a five-foot frame and a periscope stare Velvet knees knocking and they don't even care They're mapping out the kitchen like a combat zone With a dial-up connection to the great unknown Nobody's home but the signal is clear They're receiving a ping from another hemisphere Tilt the neck left, tilt the neck right They are ready to ignite in the middle of the night [Pre-Chorus] Dust clouds kicking up inside the hall Rebounding wildly right off of the wall No steering wheel, no brakes in sight Just pure avian kinetic might [Chorus] And they're off on a tear through the laminate floor! A collective impulse they cannot ignore! The single brain cell is on fire today! Propelling them forward in a zig-zag display! Don't look at the map, don't ask for the plan!
