I'm Nimrod the Cat
Hoping to hide among strangers
A fugitive from the Queen
And running from the Rangers

Why so, you ask?
I had to save face
The Queen had me caught
Between a rock and hard place

I headed the Slaverlords
Our gig was so sweet
Our concerts sold-out
All over Tortuna's streets

She didn't like our style
And had us taken away
Made the others real Slaverlords
But I survived another day

She sent the four of us out
To play in the Battle of the Bands
More psychocrystals she wanted
Made out of five thousand fans

The Rangers closed in
Intending to arrest us
But Mindnet froze them
Into living statues

Our singing was fantastic
We seemed sure to win
But then Queenie ordered me
To take Mindnet for a spin

It mesmerized the audience
Cracked their minds like a whip
Then Crown Troopers went upstairs
To grab control of the ship

The Rangers broke free
And stormed onto the stage
Their axes were awesome
Firing lasers in a rage

Mindnet was destroyed
Two Slaverlords were as well
I surrendered on sight
Told all there was to tell

Queenie then had me seized
Saying I betrayed her or some swill
I was herded into the launch bay
For a one-way ticket to Cryptville

Niko and Doc opened fire
Catching everyone off-guard
In the resulting chaos
I broke free, hitting hard

When the last Slaverlord fell
I sprinted for my ship
Promising to meet the Rangers again
They let me go, what gives?

Now I'm lost in space
Fleeing from Queenie & BETA
Whoops, they're closing in!
Gotta go! See ya!

THE END
