Arcade Days Lyrics - Singles - Philip Merrick

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 skills 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! 

Game Over
