Eighties Arcade! By Astra Nova!

(Verse 1)
Neon lights, they called my name,
Quarter dreams, pixel flames.
Standing tall by the glowing machines,
Where the magic felt so real, so pristine.

Joysticks in hand, we’d fight for the score,
High-tech worlds behind a glass door.
Time stood still in that buzzing haze,
Now I’m lost, just chasing those days.

(Chorus)
Oh, Eighties Arcade, where did you go?
Echoes of laughter, shadows aglow.
Galaga skies and Pac-Man trails,
In my heart, your memory sails.
Eighties Arcade, you’re a dream I can’t let go.

(Verse 2)
Street Fighter duels, lives on the line,
Tetris blocks, a rhythm divine.
A pocket of quarters, my ticket inside,
Where every kid found a place to hide.

It wasn’t just games, it was something more,
A world of wonder behind every door.
A haven of lights, a kingdom of sound,
Now just a ghost on forgotten ground.

(Chorus)
Oh, Eighties Arcade, where did you go?
Echoes of laughter, shadows aglow.
Galaga skies and Pac-Man trails,
In my heart, your memory sails.
Eighties Arcade, you’re a dream I can’t let go.

(Bridge)
No save points for time, it slipped away,
But I’d trade it all for just one more day.
To hear the hum of those CRTs,
And feel alive in that galaxy.

(Chorus)
Oh, Eighties Arcade, where did you go?
Echoes of laughter, shadows aglow.
Galaga skies and Pac-Man trails,
In my heart, your memory sails.
Eighties Arcade, you’re a dream I can’t let go.

(Outro)
Now I’m here, but you’re so far,
A pixelated wish on a shooting star.
Eighties Arcade, you’re a part of me,
In the high score of eternity.
