Blondie - Dragonfly lyrics

Greetings ladies and gentlemen of Earth and
All native intelligences of the
Forty planets with contestants entered in
The annual Grande Trex
The only inter-universe race this
Year’s event promises
Excitement to surpass all previous
Races as many
Of you fans know already the route
Or track of the race has been
Increased by five thousand
Million kilometres
Thus allowing the Grande Trex to
Include the B-Arc 15 system!

Dragonfly, dragonfly
Satellite strike and fight
Laser light shot tonight target nullified
Gyro subdivide latitude longitude
Satellite solid substitute
Dragonfly are revise

What’s a drag race?
Can’t you see those dragons
Speeding up the street?
But I learned they weren’t real
Figments of the ancient sphere
Rapid scan radiance
For the chance to win the Grande
Manoeuvres pre-program windage
Won’t operate, negative bearing swell
Dragons fly, they symbolise in myth and
Saga breathing fire
Look up, there’s one flying higher
Faster than the SSC
Is science hiding witchery?

Grande Trex fans throughout the universe are
Well informed on the risks
The pilots take in entering this
Race re-entry into some
Of the alien atmospheres is tricky
Business which can cause a
Craft to implode explode melt
Lose atomic structure and so forth
Adding to the interstellar terrain that
On it's own is
A terrific danger to the ships en route the
Craft are scheduled to launch at
Oh-seven-five-one hundred Greenwich Mean
Time and assembled on one our very own stars
Neutron Einstar EV9 and the
Excitement is at a
Fever pitch as the countdown approaches zero!

Dragonfly, rations glide in free fall slide
Systems nullified satellite dragonfly
Surface launch radio silence
Hover high level off

The time space tactics saved us then
Display report present urgent
Sequence counting surface launch
Dragonfly destroying all!
Science claiming newest findings
Chanting, calling flying dragons
Aboard all systems optimum
Nova scheduled war continued
Half the continental shelf burned by interval
Interval

We have retained as an added feature
For daring thrills and excitement
In this race a feature which
I’m sure you’re going to
Like a computer override lasting three and
Half and hours or two
Gens in which pilots and copilots
Manually control free fall
Latitude longitude protract gravity
Revise dimensional
Equations, run program checks
Submerge in the wild oceans of Jonrin 22
And photograph as much
Territory and terrain as they can
In addition to the requisite
Three thousand automatic shots the postulate
For mischance runs high, but not as high as
The tension and competitive
Spirit right here and all over the galaxy!

Dragonfly, dragonfly beacons aim space game
(Countdown is negative two hundred and
I am turning you over
To the control room and command
Central for the launch)
Satellite computerised
(Good luck to all the entrants and
Especially to our own ship, the Dragonfly)
Hypersonic glide (Beacons, lasers
Quasars mounted on deck rapid
Survey reactor failsafe radians)

Win the race calibrate re-entry place
(Extra points awarded for city salvage
Delivered at the finish line
Preferably retaining molecular identity)
Multi failsafe
