Track Insight / Lyrics
Grease on glass and coffee stains
I've watched a million player games
Joysticks click and buttons mash
Phosphor burns like cheap hash
Owl lands soft on cabinet top
Feathers brush the pixel crop
Yellow eyes scan left and right
Hunting through the synthetic night
Cathode owl in arcade glow
Synth chords pulse from down below
Silent wings on static air
Digital dreams caught in glare
Quarter slots eat shiny coins
High score initials, three-line joys
Tilt sensor shakes the frame
Multiball starts the sudden game
Owl tilts head at vector lines
Asteroids break, the player mines
Tempest spins its vector tube
Missile Command, no time to lose
Cathode owl in arcade glow
Synth chords pulse from down below
Silent wings on static air
Digital dreams caught in glare
Trackball rolls in Golden Tee
Dance Dance Revolution, follow me
Time Crisis, pedal down
House of Dead, zombie town
Cathode owl in arcade glow
Synth chords pulse from down below
Silent wings on static air
Digital dreams caught in glare
Cruis'n USA, gas pedal flat
Initial D, drift like that
Out
Run Ferrari, palm trees sway
Sega Rally, mud and clay
Cathode owl in arcade glow
Synth chords pulse from down below
Silent wings on static air
Digital dreams caught in glare
Power down, the cabinet dies
Cabinet sleep, owls' lullabies
Morning shift flips breaker on
Waiting for the cathode owl
Cathode owl in arcade glow
Synth chords pulse from down below
Silent wings on static air
Digital dreams caught in glare
Static fades to morning light
Cathode owl owns the night
