Lyrics Dragonfly - 2001 Digital Remaster - Blondie

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-universal 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
Orbits and glides
Has been increased by 5000 million kilometers
Thus enabling 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, arc 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's fear

Rapid scan radiance
For the chance to win the grande
Maneuvers pre program windage won't operate
Negative bearing swell
Dragons fly they symbolize, 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 degree that on
Its own is a terrific danger to the ships while en route
The surface craft scheduled to launch at 070051 Greenwich mean time
Have assembled on one of our very own stars
(Neutron Einstar EV 9) for this year's event
And the excitement is at a fever
Pitch as the countdown approaches zero!

Dragonfly, rations glide in free fall slide systems nullify
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 of daring thrills and
Excitement of this race a feature
Which I'm sure you're going to like
The computer override lasting three and a half hours or two gens when
Pilots and co-pilots 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 (on Earth) and all over the galaxies

Dragonfly dragonfly beacons aim space game

Satellite (the countdown is 200 and I am turning you)
Over to the control room at command central
Sia Lan for the launch
Good luck to all the entrants and
Especially to our own ship dragonfly
