He wipes the mist from his glasses
Foggy visions of the day
Maps a course in his mind
While machines sleep and the city plays
Neon solace finds him wandering
In the retro arcade's glow
Strangers become his friends
While he loses all his woes
In the emerald cabinet
He's a master of the coin slot
As the score climbs higher still
His solitary song
Neon solace finds him wandering
In the retro arcade's glow
Strangers become his friends
While he loses all his woes
Pong pings, Space Invaders bloom
Eight-bit melodies fade
A generation's melancholy
In these pixels displayed
Neon solace finds him wandering
In the retro arcade's glow
Strangers become his friends
While he loses all his woes
Hypnotic patterns swirling
Neon's comforting shade
Exorcising loneliness
In this geekier parade
Neon solace finds him wandering
In the retro arcade's glow
Strangers become his friends
While he loses all his woes
Glows the neon highway
Synths echoing in the night
Fishing lights by the harbor
Shadows dancing, fleeting
