Arcade at Night

Every single day
Janey tried to get away,
she stepped into the light,
losing all her sight,

Every single day
Billy got away,
he stepped out of the light,
and he fell into

the Arcade at Night,
you’ll get a life in
the Arcade at Night,
there’s every record
and any love in sight,
you’ll never die in the 
Arcade at Night

Billy showed Janey the trick,
her eyes flashed silver quick,
he led her out of the light,
and she fell into

the Arcade at Night,
you’ll get a life in
the Arcade at Night,
there’s every record
and any love in sight,
you’ll never die in the 
Arcade at Night

Janey lost her balance
when she found Billy
doing his fire dance,
he flew over to her
and whispered into her ear,

“tell me what you want,
yea, tell me what you want
me to do to you,
I’ll show you all the games,
some we’re a team,
some we’re enemies”

They played cool for a while,
they ruled the scene in style,
punks turned from their machines
to catch the neon glisten off her chromaflair jeans,
she never felt so alive,
it was almost like she had died

Janey won every game
when she felt a pain
as Billy grabbed her throat by the chain,
then, a word charmed Billy’s hand,
& Billy sighed, “Janey, I understand,
but if you retreat to the light
you’re gonna be missing

the Arcade at Night,
you’re always welcome in
the Arcade at Night,
they’re always open in
the Arcade at Night,
you’ll never die in 
the Arcade at Night

Now, every single day
Janey gets away
