[short instrumental Intro] *Ready Player One* [Verse 1] Glowing screens Colors bright Pixels dance in Neon light [Verse 2] 8-bit heroes Arcade sound Ones and Zeros Round and round [pre-chorus, 8-bit-synth fill-in] [Chorus] In the 80s dreams were codes. High scores ruled the world we knew. Magic hid inside machines And we lived in pixel dreams. [bridge] *Ready Player Two* [Verse 3] Highscore huntsmen Arcade jumpers Beat as beat can Pinball bumpers [Verse 4] Starship pilots Master players Cyber pirates Monser slayers [drop] [pre-chorus, 8-bit-synth solo] [Chorus] In the 80s, dreams were codes. High scores ruled the world we knew. Magic hid inside machines And we lived in pixel dreams. [Long synth solo, virtuoso] [bridge] *Ready Player One* [verse 5] A messy basement Pale thin nerds Life's replacement: Bytes and words [verse 6] Just one more game Feeling like a 4-leaf clover thus it ends all the same: [pause] Game Over! (over over over) [hook] [Chorus] In the 80s dreams were codes. High scores ruled the world we knew. Magic hid inside machines And we lived in pixel dreams. [Pause] *Game Over.
