80s

Intro - Humming + VHS static

Yeah...

Uh, look...

Rewind it, rewind it...

Hook

Pourin' out the VHS, tracking lines on the screen (Screen)

Back when heroes was real, not just dreams in between (Dreams)

Mama said "don't stay up", but I was up with the team

He-Man on the shelf, watchin' Captain Flam gleam, yeah

Pourin' out the VHS, yeah we lived in a dream (Lived in a dream)

Nintendo red light blinkin', hear that 8-bit scream

All that plastic gold, figurines all on the floor

Take me back, take me back to '84.

Verse 1

I was raised by the rentals, Blockbuster late fees

E.T. in the basket, phone home through the trees

Back to the Future with the Nikes, DeLorean doors

Ghostbusters on the TV, slime all on the floor

Pac-Man fever, Donkey Kong, quarter in the slot

Rubik's Cube twistin', never knew when to stop

Transformers on the carpet, Autobots roll out

G.I. Joe Kung Fu Grip, that's what real ones about

ThunderCats, HOOOO! Heard it in the dark

Smurfs in the village, Gargamel left his mark

VHS tapes labeled with a black marker pen

Rewind before you return, we was taught back then.

Hook

Pourin' out the VHS, tracking lines on the screen (Screen)

Back when heroes was real, not just dreams in between (Dreams)

Mama said "don't stay up", but I was up with the team

He-Man on the shelf, watchin' Captain Flam gleam, yeah

Pourin' out the VHS, yeah we lived in a dream (Lived in a dream)

Nintendo red light blinkin', hear that 8-bit scream

All that plastic gold, figurines all on the floor

Take me back, take me back to '84.

Verse 2 - Le plus nostalgique

Yeah, Captain Future in the Comet, cruisin' through space (Captain Flam)

Black and white to color, lightspeed in his face

L'Île aux Enfants, Casimir orange, yeah I still remember

Sitting cross-legged, 7 AM, cold December

Dragon Ball just landin', Astro Boy with the fists

Ulysses 31, that future that we missed

Master of the Universe, Battle Cat, Castle Grayskull

My childhood on the dresser, couldn't get enough

My first console wood grain, Atari with the stick

Tetris on Game Boy, that green light hit different

Never had a lot, but we had everything though

When the tape started snowin', that's when love would show.

Bridge - Melodic / Drill vocal

Ooh, don't let it fade, don't let it fade away (No)

Static on the screen, but the memory stay (Memory stay)

All my childhood heroes never went away...

They just waitin' on the shelf, yeah they waitin' on the shelf...

Hook - low, emotional

Pourin' out the VHS, tracking lines on the screen

Back when heroes was real, not just dreams in between

Mama said "don't stay up", but I was up with the team

He-Man on the shelf, watchin' Captain Flam gleam, yeah

Pourin' out the VHS, yeah we lived in a dream

Nintendo red light blinkin', hear that 8-bit scream

All that plastic gold, figurines all on the floor

Take me back, take me back to '84.

Outro - Tape ejection sound
