Arcade Summer Nights

Friday night, the sun is going down

We ride our bikes across the edge of town

With pocketfuls of quarters and a dream

Underneath the screen's inviting gleam

Step inside, the world of pixels starts to spin

Insert your coin, and let the game begin

(oh yeah)

We were the kings of the arcade hall

Chasing the high score on the wall

Living our lives in a technicolor glow

In a sweet retro kingdom we used to know

(we used to know)

Joystick clicks and flashing colorful lights

Lost inside

the neon cabinet nights

Avoid the ghosts and dodge the falling stars

This magic basement was entirely ours

Step inside, the world of pixels starts to spin

Insert your coin, and let the game begin

(oh yeah)

We were the kings of the arcade hall

Chasing the high score on the wall

Living our lives in a technicolor glow

In a sweet retro kingdom we used to know

(we used to know)

Yeah, we used to know

Just a quarter, let it go (insert coin)
