Static on the Line

[Intro]
[Verse]
Parents sleepin' down the hall
Shadows dancin' on the wall
Tracking on the tape was bad
Best night that I ever had
Rented at the corner store
I'm slippin' out the bedroom door
[Pre-Chorus]
Payphone’s ringin' in the rain
Static buzzin' in my brain
Walkman on, the batteries low
Nowhere else I wanna go
[Chorus]
Electric thrill in the night
Underneath the neon light
Chasing down a ghost in blue
Just to get a look at you
Midnight arcade, static screen
You’re the finest thing I’ve seen
[Hook]
Static on the line (Yeah!)
Static on the line (Oh!)
[Verse]
Bowling alley floors are sticky
Situation’s gettin' tricky
Pac-Man’s eatin' up my time
Spending every single dime
Saw your face in the reflection
Such a digital connection
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain is slicking up the street
Running on my own two feet
Fumbling for a silver coin
Waiting for the worlds to join
[Chorus]
Electric thrill in the night
Underneath the neon light
Chasing down a ghost in blue
Just to get a look at you
Midnight arcade, static screen
You’re the finest thing I’ve seen
[Bridge]
Sun is gonna rise too soon
Hiding from the yellow moon
If they catch me I am dead
Echoes ringin' in my head
Rewind it back to the start
Magnets pullin' at my heart
[Chorus]
Electric thrill in the night
Underneath the neon light
Chasing down a ghost in blue
Just to get a look at you
Midnight arcade, static screen
You’re the finest thing I’ve seen
[Post-Chorus]
Don't stop the tape now
Don't stop the tape now
We’re living in the glow
I never want to go
[Outro]
