Intro (square-wave arpeggio) Bleep - bleep - click of the night, Pixels flicker, porch-light bright. Verse 1 Bitstream moon on the old creek’s face, Ghosts encoded in the data’s grace. Cigarette glow—8 pixels wide, Harrow County hums in cyan pride. Chorus In the lonely hours (ah-ah-ah), Honeysuckle RAM and power. Motor-oil rainbows spin on screen, Love’s a glitch in blue and green. Verse 2 Truck headlights in 16-bit bloom, Denim stranger uploads gloom. He says, “You the one who writes the code?” She says, “Depends what you’ve been told.” Chorus In the lonely hours (ah-ah-ah), Kentucky heat and neon flowers. Memory leaks where hearts once beat, Ghosts tap-dance on a floppy street. Bridge (chip-lead solo) Whip-poor-will sample, echoed reverb, Love in a loop we can’t perturb. Every kiss in 8-bit time, Loses data, keeps the crime. Final Chorus / Outro In the lonely hours (ah-ah-ah), Press Start to dream again, my darlin’. If the screen fades black and still, Remember me — you always will.
