Author's Note/Disclaimer: I do not own the song "Rodeo", nor do I own Invader Zim. No matter HOW many times I wish on the first star I see, the wish never comes true. *sigh* Must be someone else's star… This is the first fic of mine that I haven't been too lazy to type up…

(Note: This really was my first songfic, but I screwed some stuff up, so I recently went back and fixed it.)

His eyes are cold and restless

His wounds have almost healed

and she'd give up her GameSlave

Just to change the way he feels

She knows his head's in outer space.

And she knows he's never gonna win

Well, it ain't fair fight, flesh and blood

It's that damned Invader Zim.

.

Well, it's bones and blood

It's dust and mud

It's the roar of a Voot Runner

It's the white in his knuckles

Zim's coldhearted chuckles

And the laughter of a reject Sir.

It's slow and fast

It's laser blasts

It's bombs and "Leave Earth alone!"

It's the force and the flames

And the terror and the pain

And it's all because of Invader Zim.

.

She does her best to stop him

When trouble comes to call

But his need for it controls him

And her back's against the wall

And it's "So long Gaz, I'll see you."

And she can't always protect him.

You know Gaz wants her brother safe

Like he wants to beat Invader Zim.

.

Well, it's bones and blood

It's dust and mud

It's the roar of a Voot Runner

It's the white in his knuckles

Zim's coldhearted chuckles

And the laughter of a reject Sir.

It's slow and fast

It's laser blasts

It's bombs and "Leave Earth alone!"

It's the force and the flames

And the terror and the pain

And it's all because of Invader Zim.

.

It'll drive Dib crazy.

It'll drive Zim insane.

And Gaz can't stand to watch the fight

So instead she'll play her game.

And a broken home and some broken bones

Is all Dib'll ever win

For all the years that he spent chasin'

This alien called Zim.

.

Well, it's bones and blood

It's dust and mud

It's the roar of a Voot Runner

It's the white in his knuckles

Zim's coldhearted chuckles

And the laughter of a reject Sir.

It's slow and fast

It's laser blasts

It's bombs and "Leave Earth alone!"

It's the force and the flames

And the terror and the pain

And it's all because of Invader Zim.

.

It's the guts and the blood

It's the dirt and the mud

And it's all because of Invader Zim.
