Two Coins Clinking

[Chorus] Two coins clinking in my pocket bright Chasing glory in the fading light This old arcade, my summer's sweet escape Lost in pixels, a forgotten landscape [Verse] Twelve years old, the sticky floor I tread 'King of Fighters' spinning in my head Cicadas scream a deafening, hot song Where stale ramen and paint thinner belong [Pre-Chorus] Fans are creaking, a rusty, tired sigh As golden afternoons just drift on by I trade two tokens for a king's domain Wash away the world, escape the rain [Chorus] Two coins clinking in my pocket bright Chasing glory in the fading light This old arcade, my summer's sweet escape Lost in pixels, a forgotten landscape [Verse] The sun bleeds orange on the dusty screen A sepia stain on a digital scene My fighter's shadow, a victory claimed In this worn-out world, I am unashamed [Pre-Chorus] The air is thick, a humid, hazy dream Caught between the real and the machine I trade two tokens for a king's domain Wash away the world, escape the rain [Chorus] Two coins clinking in my pocket bright Chasing glory in the fading light This old arcade, my summer's sweet escape Lost in pixels, a forgotten landscape [Bridge] The owner's cat, with eyes of emerald green Stretches slow across the console scene A yawning stretch, a flick of tail and ear This second life is all I hold so dear [Outro] Two coins clinking, fading into night
