lyrics

(The waves cannot reach where the trees have red leaves)
Who can hear the song at night
Ghosts howling, noisy poltergeists
Arcade cabinets somehow shake around
Tilted pinball machines hit the ground

An asteroids graveyard
Cobwebs paint the room
A poltergeist hangout
Banshees on the move
Everyone who’s vanished
After a day or two
Of chatting on the phone
Haunts this arcade

Can you hear that victory sound?
High scores ringing, specters all around
Quarters rolling, silver pocket lint
A lonely place filled up with crowds and spit

And there’s cobwebs in me too
I look away I look away I look away
And there’s specters in my room
I hide away I hide away I hide away
Seven silver dollars in my chest
Out of order signs on my shirt.

Who can hear me wail at night?
I try to imitate the ghosts and frights
Wrapped in bandages, preserved in brine
The world will keep spinning, the world’s not mine
