Scanline Ghost

[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight on the coastal shelf
Driving by my lonely self
Static on the FM dial
Chasing down a phantom smile
Dashboard glows in electric blue
Searching for a trace of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Nineteen-eighty-four
Shadows on the floor
Coin-op dreams in blue
I was looking for you
[Chorus]
Neon light
In the dead of night
Pixelated eyes
Under digital skies
Are you just a dream?
Caught in the machine
[Verse]
Joystick in your right hand
Glow from a distant land
Quarter on the glass top
Hoping time would just stop
Scanlines on your pale face
Lost in outer space
[Hook]
Game over now
Start it again
Show me how
My only friend
[Chorus]
Neon light
In the dead of night
Pixelated eyes
Under digital skies
Are you just a dream?
Caught in the machine
[Bridge]
I’m cruising through the static haze
Lost inside a purple maze
Will I find the arcade door?
Or am I just wanting more?
The engine hums a low F-sharp
Tugging at my lonely heart
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Neon light
In the dead of night
Pixelated eyes
Under digital skies
Are you just a dream?
Caught in the machine
[Post-Chorus]
Just a memory
Fading out at sea
Highways never end
Around the final bend
Are you really there?
Dissolving in the air
[Outro]
