lyrics

The day I found you hidden in an alleyway
Broken down and rusted the days since the arcade
load you into my truck drove like mad to my workshop
Your pixels will light up my life again

All the other kids had their pre-planned life spans
Nine to five jobs being blinded by the headlights
Filling up their dreams with chiptune and pixel sprites
Retreat to your light, bring life to the night

Replace your broken screen and rusty joysticks
Bringing the light back to those glowing pixels
Circuit board or brain? I can't tell anymore
Out of the curtains with you and back into the spotlight

All the other kids had their pre-planned life spans
Nine to five jobs being blinded by the headlights
Filling up their dreams with chiptune and pixel sprites
Retreat to your light, bring life to the night
