Friday nights flourescent lights throwing back quarters
and knocking back players all day i'd stay there anyway
just a bit of fun with me and the ones
who keep the cabinets lit up like roman candles
lines kept steady for the next person ready
by the twitch of the wrist
players are bounced are missed
fingers itching for a symphony
from which to exist
keep yoru next coin down
and i'm back to the waiting list
we had our fun - a world of suspense
memories measured in twent five cent incriments
just to give in a bit - fit in where you can hit
just another fix from this feeling you get
and we raise our glass to the games of the past
too many to name though we thought we should ask
make a shout how devout you are to the litany:
D and D and the tower of doom
outrunners, q-bert and MK II
super pac man was a player since 1982
world heroes jet - spy hunter, gauntlet
bad dudes vs dragon ninja, mad planets
neo geo with the garou and tetris with the tricky set
so many names - like memorial walls
take a fall call em all wish for better times now anyway
these were times you know and these were the days
players kept buzzing for the next playa to find ways
beat that boss on altered beast down at all cost
making deals like faust in hope that all is not lost
beg and plead for another token hoping here so all that choking
down those infinite combos in that MVC2
dont be cheating dude i saw that itch to tap that glitch
on magnetos bitch ass and you aint fast enough to do it so
move it on the pump it up fuck it up just like a cop
caught up in a riot you just never couldn't stop
face on the fact that we lack rhythm and tact
to attract girls who would like that gamer fat so
so many days days - spent wasting away
those were the best weren't they? - yeah those were the best.
(chorus, a bunch)
