The Lullaby of Load Times

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

Floppy drive spins its lullaby

Green screen blinks a tiny sigh

Keys that rattle soft and low

Remember when the whole world glowed

Pre-Chorus

I was fast back then

I could load a game by ten

Every pixel mine to hold

Every level made of gold

Chorus

Dreaming of the old days

Loading up the long waits

Nothing but the hum and glow

The way we used to go

Dreaming of the old days

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Old days

Old days

Verse 2

Joystick resting in the dust

No more hours left to trust

Cartridge pinched and held so tight

Waiting for the flicker light

Pre-Chorus

I was wide awake

Signals in a happy shake

Every blip a little whole

Every tune a happy soul

Chorus

Dreaming of the old days

Loading up the long waits

Nothing but the hum and glow

The way we used to go

Dreaming of the old days

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Old days

Old days

Bridge

Somebody unplugged the wire

Left me cool beside the fire

But I still hear the beeps inside

Where the little games reside

Chorus

Dreaming of the old days

Loading up the long waits

Nothing but the hum and glow

The way we used to go

Dreaming of the old days

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Old days

Oh-oh-oh

Old days
