Sorry if this is someone else's idea…

Disclaimer: Check Chapter One

Lose my head to the chemical freeway

[Open to that scene in the ZIM opening with Zim in his VootRunner blasting through space]

Comin' up on overload

[Cut to the scene with Dib and his radio, listening]

In a mystic new dimension

Purify and sanctify me

[Slide over to ZIM wearing his disguise for the first time]

What, so I'm in no end game

Move my piece right off the board

Losing sure is easy so I am no more

[In a view divided down the center, ZIM and Dib both sit down, looking discouraged. They both start thinking of the other laughing away]

------------

But I'm not broken, in my dream I win

[Go to the last bits of the opening. The cables surrounding the plant, and ZIM on top of his house]

In here I'm nothing, a Cosmic Castaway

[Now we see ZIM daydreaming at Skool. He shakes out of it and sighs in digust]

------------

In my head I'm a chemical dreamer

[Flash to Dib in Skool drawing a picture similar to one with ZIM being dissect like in that episode….um…]

Speed up to burn out mode

Comin' up in the 5th dimension

Beautify don't crucify me, yeah

[Switch to the flashes ZIM had when the UFO Cult from 'Saucer Morons' picked him up]

So I need no mind game poisoning my lonely soul

Losing sure is easy so I am no more

[Now we see ZIM and Dib glaring at each other across the classroom at Skool]

------------

But I'm not broken, in my dream I win

[The divided view again, with both Dib and ZIM looking determined]

And I take over, coz I'm no loser

And I'm in and you're not, bad dreams don't stop

[ZIM daydreams about all the humans slaving away for him]

But I'm all screwed up, a Cosmic Castaway

a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway

[Shots of Dib and ZIM after their plans fail]

------------

And I want but have not

Bad dreams, lust thoughts

[ZIM storms up to the toilet, flushes himself down, and begins working at his computer, mashing the keys angrily]

In here with no pain, you hurt me again

And I want but have none

I should beat the alien

But here I'm no one, a Cosmic Castaway

a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway

a Cosmic Castaway

[Dib is explaining new ZIM methods to Gaz, who is playing her GameSlave. Then, later, Dib enters his room covered in some sort of goo. He grumpily sits down on his bed and glares at the wall]

------------

There. A new version. Anyway.

Maybe I will use SmashMouth's "Who's There?" after I see the first episode. I need to see the whole thing before I can write anything about Conventia or Irk or other things like that.
