[Intro] [Frantic, stuttering 808 tom drum pattern starts immediately at 160 bpm] [Chopped, pitched-up vocal sample loops erratically] [Vocals: Whispered, fast, twitchy] Three in the morning. Wide awake. Can't stop shaking. [Verse 1] [The heavy, syncopated sub-bass kicks in, driving the frantic rhythm] [Vocals: Incredibly fast, breathless, tripping over internal rhymes] I was sleeping on the cushion then the circuitry ignited. Every solitary nerve inside the system got excited. I am bouncing off the ceiling, I am ricocheting down. I am running every corridor inside the sleeping town. Got a shiver in the whisker, got a tremor in the paw. I am violating every single thermodynamic law. Spinning circles in the kitchen, knocking glasses off the rack. There is absolutely nowhere on the map to wander back. I am purely locomotion, I am friction, I am spark. I am an untethered missile tearing holes into the dark. [Chorus] [The beat goes into overdrive, chaotic claps and rim-shots layering the groove] [Vocals: Shouting, manic, trading lines left and right] Midnight zoomies! (Run it out!) Tearing up the carpet! (Run it out!) Cannot hold the center! Cannot hold the shape! Executing my spectacular escape! Midnight zoomies! (Run it out!) Bouncing off the plaster! (Run it out!) Moving like a phantom moving faster, faster, faster! [Verse 2] [Beat strips down to just the hyper-fast hi-hats and a squeaking synth] [Vocals: Flow becomes choppy, staccato, stopping and starting instantly] Stop. Freeze. Did you hear the wind blowing through the trees? No time. Go. Hit the corridor and run the rodeo. I am knocking down the vases, I am shredding up the mail. I am an unstoppable and highly caffeinated gale. I am sliding on the laminate and crashing in the door. I am picking up the pieces and I'm running back for more. [Chorus] [The beat goes into overdrive, chaotic claps and rim-shots layering the groove] [Vocals: Shouting, manic, trading lines left and right] Midnight zoomies! (Run it out!) Tearing up the carpet! (Run it out!) Cannot hold the center! Cannot hold the shape! Executing my spectacular escape! Midnight zoomies! (Run it out!) Bouncing off the plaster! (Run it out!) Moving like a phantom moving faster, faster, faster! [Outro] [The frantic beat suddenly slows down dramatically like a dying battery] [Vocals: Panting heavily, yawning] Okay. I'm tired now. [A heavy thud of a body hitting the floor] [Silence]
