Philip Merrick - Arcade Days lyrics

Someone presses start and you begin to be Then you start to control your character consciously As you settle in, the biggest care in your mind being The Androids, Asteroids, and Space Invaders you're seeing Chorus Arcade Days Arcade Days Put in a few coins now Then a few years later start putting bills in More and more as the years go on Arcade Days Arcade Days Your sk**s and talents gradually refine As you keep collect things that you think are fine And your enemies each start to meet life's final loss Directly or indirectly by your cross Chorus But, suddenly everything starts to move faster And you start to doubt your status as the master That voice inside telling you your not good enough You race on, keep on playing and try to be tough But then you see the final loss is everyone's fate No longer in those Arcade Days Hurry, hurry, running out of time Getting closer and closer to your final chime If only you could return to those Arcade Days Arcade Days Ar-cade- Days!
