You slide onto the stool vinyl cracked
Coffee black as midnight watch intact
Grease stains map the coast you know
Short joke lands steady as you go
Quarter deck lights the synth sea
Joystick rudder sets you free
High score flashes name in light
Retro tide rolls through the night
Pac-Man ghosts chase sonar blips
Donkey Kong barrels sink your ships
CRT glow paints your weathered face
Linoleum deck a familiar place
Quarter deck lights the synth sea
Joystick rudder sets you free
High score flashes name in light
Retro tide rolls through the night
Regulars nod they know your game
Captain's log entry name
Laughter bubbles fryer hiss
Another round you won't miss
Quarter deck lights the synth sea
Joystick rudder sets you free
High score flashes name in light
Retro tide rolls through the night
Moog sawtooth cuts through the smoke
Juno pads a harbor cloak
Linn
Drum snare cracks sharp and clean
Best rhythm section you've seen
No compass needed no star chart
Just muscle memory and heart
Tokens clink like anchor chain
You play until the dawn breaks plain
Final credit rolls screen goes dim
You pocket the win synthetic hymn
Coffee cold but spirit warm
Arcade sailor rides the storm
Quarter deck lights the synth sea
Joystick rudder sets you free
High score flashes name in light
Retro tide rolls through the night
Quarter deck lights the synth sea
Joystick rudder sets you free
Quarter drops game over
Coffee refill pull the lever
