lyrics

(coins drop, a cabinet wakes up)
(ah... it remembers me)

The mall is mostly shutters now
But the arcade won't lie down
One cabinet still hums in back
Screen burnt amber, joystick cracked
(insert coin, insert coin)

I typed three letters at fifteen
The greatest I had ever been
(ever been)

My name is still on the screen
(still on the screen)
Three letters burning seafoam green
Still on the screen, still on the screen
The kid I was is still the king
Still on the screen
(ooh... ooh...)

You held my jacket and my coke
Laughed at every button I broke
Now you're two time zones from this town
And I'm still chasing my old crown
(one more credit)

He keeps the socket powered on
For one old ghost who can't move on
(one more coin)

My name is still on the screen
(still on the screen)
Three letters burning seafoam green
Still on the screen, still on the screen
The kid I was is still the king
Still on the screen
(ooh... ooh...)

They tear it down on Monday morning
Progress never phones a warning
I'll play until the power dies
Then hold the high score in my eyes
(the screen goes dark)

My name is still on the screen
(still on the screen)
Three letters burning seafoam green
Still on the screen, still on the screen
Still on the screen
(forever... forever)

Still on the screen... (mmm)
Still on the screen...
(the last coin drops)
