Lyrics

Verse 1

Silver

Edge of the slot

I am sweating through my cotton shirt

My pockets

Empty

Cold metal slips

Gravity takes the round silver disc

Click

The screen wakes up

Verse 2

Dusty glass

Smell of ozone

I am the master of the joystick

Left

Right

A blue blur

Buttons are clicking like a clock

Speed

Fire

Power

The pixels are bleeding red and gold

Winning

Maybe

Chorus

Give me that quarter

Give me that life

One more quarter

One more life

I am never going home

I am never going home

Give me that quarter

Give me that life

Verse 3

Level ten

Boss is massive

Green slime dripping from his jaw

Jump

Duck

Slide away

The timer is ticking down to zero

No

Wait

Panic

My thumb is cramping on the plastic

Lose

Again

Chorus

Give me that quarter

Give me that life

One more quarter

One more life

I am never going home

I am never going home

Give me that quarter

Give me that life

Bridge

Check the floor

Check the cracks

Check the change return

Need it

Want it

Found it

Verse 4

Scuffed floor

Dim room

I found a nickel and three pennies

Bad luck

Sad truth

The high score belongs to someone else

Now

Always

Forever

Walking out into the heavy rain

Spent

Done

Chorus

Give me that quarter

Give me that life

One more quarter

One more life

I am never going home

I am never going home

Give me that quarter

Give me that life

Post-Chorus

Life

Life

Life

One more

One more

One more life

Quarter in the machine

Quarter in the machine
