time - 8 bit memories lyrics

[verse 1: time]
my mom gave birth in 1985
i was bluer than a pac-man ghost barely alive
in the cold war my only blanket was tetris
i played rampart while reagan rampaged the world for breakfast
the laundromat was my sanctuary, the arcade was my church
i thought i was rastan so for evil i would search
the joystick was the only i enjoyed holding
cause it let me save the world and kept my axe golden
i cried playing punch out until i found out you hit the band-aid
i told my mom all about it, it made my d-mn day
candy had me bouncing off the walls like arkanoid
no need for the park or toys, the arcade filled my void
i saw dragons by the double, ghouls, ghosts and goblins
choplifter took me away from all the war and the problems
who knew a quarter could make me feel like god on a throne?
who knew a quarter could help me save the world on my own?

[hook: xiu xiu]
boom boo boo boom boo boo boom boom
i’m the only one here pressing the b-tton
boom boo boo boom
it’s just me, it’s just me, he, he, he

[verse 2: time]
while mario and ken were throwing the sign peace
america was playing real like zaxxon in the middle east
but no matter how much my neighbor said the world would end
i was determined to play missile command till the end
i wasn’t your normal child who played with yak baks and crayons
cause i liked how that track ball felt like the world in my hands
each star was a sp-ce invader, the sky was galaga
everyday was a boss fight, the sound track was metallica
this was back when the only snakes in my life were on q bert
and video game pixels were the only people that you hurt
everyday was burger time, k!lling spiders and centipedes
back when bed times and baths were my only enemies
at that moment nothing mattered in my life more
than seeing my 3 initials at lakeside with the hi-score
but now i’m older, there’s no quarter to resurrect or hit reset
it’s either game over or success, i’m walking towards the light bright no regrets

[hook: xiu xiu]
boom boo boo boom boo boo boom boom
i’m the only one here pressing the b-tton
boom boo boo boom
it’s just me, it’s just me, he, he, he
