When the screens get bright
And the kids go out to bathe in sounds and lights
Then the pale hues start to rule the night
Never running from the fight
The coins are stacked and ready to make it right
Only one of us will make it out alive tonight
When the music starts
And the lights start to flicker on and off
Under the neon lights
The dances continue on and on
In the neon ballet
In the neon ballet
In the neon ballet
In the neon ballet
By the arcade lights
We find our way through the fight
Under the neon lights
The dances continue on and on
When the music starts
And the lights start to flicker on and off
In the neon ballet
It’s the neon ballet
It’s the neon ballet

The week
The week is
The week is long
Silver cat
Silver cat feeds
When blue meets yellow
In the West
Gonna play it one more time
Then I’m gonna take another ride
Headed for a rush
Gotta play it one more time
Then I’m gonna play another

I’ve been mowing lawns
To save up for that thing I want
I’ve almost got the funds I need to bring it home
I’ve been digging on
That console I saw at the mall
I wish the time was now to make it mine, yeah
I want to make you mine
I want to make you mine
I’ve been taking time
Now I’ve got the juice to make my move
I’m gonna take you home and play you all night
I turn it on Saturday night
Get away from me, gotta win this fight
Now all my friends think I’m the cat’s pajamas, yeah
Turn it on Saturday night, it’s on
Gonna stay on till the morning light, that’s right
Now I’ve got the juice to take my move and make you mine
Make you mine

I’m heading on the road again
Early in the morning, everything’s alright
The road goes on
I’m driving this turbo machine
The engine’s clean and the wheels keep rolling on
I rev it up and go
I’m driving til the sun goes down
When I look around I see you eat my dust
I see you eat my dust
I see you eat my dust
I see you eat my dust
The road is winding on
Through the mountains I cruise
The motor’s revving strong
I see you coming up behind me
But you won’t pass me up
No, you’ll eat my dust
I see you eat my dust
I see you eat my dust
I see you eat my dust

We see them coming down
In a rank and file
Our defenses holding up
For a little while
Their lines are never-ending
Always marching down
Our shields are quickly ending
As they rain down their bombs from above

Out on the run
Dim lights on the streets of fire
The race upon us
Has raised the bar once again
So much to lose
So much that fades away
When your photograph doesn’t stay
All around the world I looked for you
I found you in the place above the moon
We’re waiting for the time to bring us close
The time has come for the room to light and glow
The games were played
And we fought our foes
The night was young
When we took the picture in the booth that night
So much to lose
So much that fades away
When your photograph doesn’t stay
Our photograph will never fade away

35 34 31 54 12 24 45 43
Lives passing through Arcadia
Erase the senses with a cryptic paranoia
You play the game inside the ROM
With higher functions to deliver the amnesia
Polybius
You’re like an octopus climbing in a tree
Polybius
Dark Basic vectors to consume the memory
35 34 31 54 12 24 45 43
2/6 2k is zero day
Consume, submit, obey, a coin buys euphoria

The Usenet myth began the day when he posted
The story was too big to kill
Inscribed in folklore echoed in forum posts still
An in-joke for arcade fans of spooky allusion
And for low-effort listicles, an essential inclusion
An indelible myth but at least we know the deal
Polybius never existed but the legend is real

We walked in and saw wild lights like a vision
Etched in our minds with a chisel
It’s like we’ve been here before
As we step in through the door
We’re making up for lost time
The radio is playing our song
The noise in the background is lit
We hear the blips and we carry on
As we take our turn in the ship
The weekend arrives and we’re here
To take our place, put the coins in line
The screens are coming alive
With the stars and the fire and the ice
We’re making up for lost time
The radio is playing our song
The noise in the background is lit
We hear the blips as we carry on
And we take our turn in the ship
We walked in and saw wild lights like a vision
Etched in our minds with a chisel
It’s like we’ve been here before
As we step in through the door
