85 and I'm a king
Bet you wish you were with me
Cuz you been lookin' for retro nights
And another vintage scene
As a walkman plays
Static in my ears stays
In the arcade
Neon fades into gray
I don't want it any other way
I don't want it any other way
No more
You got enough on your mind
As you play away all your life
While you hit me from back to forth
I'm just another high-score
As a walkman plays
Static in my ears stays
In the arcade
Neon fades into gray




I don't want it any other way
I don't want it any other way
