We campaign through strawberry lane in springtime
Our melting vibes collide
Space out the invasion we’re not prepared to fight
Let the bass and heart confide
Not gonna speak while you’re distracted
By the levels you dare to climb
A straight shooter with nostalgia
I haven’t felt in a long while
You make it feel like it’s the arcade when we play
In pixel island til’ the day breaks
We’ll keep breakin dollars
Hope the nеxt play, things change
The score is risin as thе screen fades
It ain’t over when you stay
And who’s that sayin they’re the pinball wizard
He moves too slow with his grubby little fingers
Keep pressin buttons and see what gets triggered
I’ll just smile and watch’em reconsider again
Have you a clue what the ending’s all about?
Both lost at and inside
Long for a difficulty that I decide
When did easy die?
Not gonna speak while you’re distracted
By the levels you dare to climb
A fixed shooter with nostalgic eyes
That feed the soul of your inner child
You make it feel like it’s the arcade when we play
In pixel island til’ the day breaks
We’ll keep breakin dollars
Hope the next play, things change
The score is risin as the screen fades
It ain’t over when you stay
And who’s that sayin they’re the pinball wizard
He moves too slow with his grubby little fingers
Keep pressin buttons and see what gets triggered
I’ll just smile and watch’em reconsider again
We were tired of summer days
Sweatin the tears away
One hundred and four they say
Coded into our DNA is a reason to hide
I get no favors from mother natch
The seventies far away, now nineties the color way
She’ll be rockin the disco pants and nobody looks twice
How many lives will it take to learn
The edges’ll ricochet, your stubbornness on display
Takin fights to the street today
How classy is that?
You’re more yourself inside
Inside the arcade
In pixel island til the day breaks
We’ll keep breakin dollars
Hopin the next day things change…
(the human has been neutralized)
You make it feel like it’s the arcade
Make ya feel like it’s the arcade
It feels like it’s the arcade
Feels like it’s the arcade
You make it feel like it’s the arcade when we play
In pixel island til’ the day breaks
We’ll keep breakin dollars
Hope the next play, things change
The score is risin as the screen fades
It ain’t over when you stay
Who’s that sayin they’re the pinball wizard
He moves too slow with his grubby little fingers
Keep pressin buttons and see what gets triggered
I’ll just smile and watch’em reconsider again
