[Chorus] I stayed up through the dark of the night Frostbite blazing till the morning light Fingers raw and burning, skin pulled tight I beat the score beyond the final height [Guitar Solo gritty distorted fuzz guitar solo, rough aggressive phrasing, thick heavy tone, raw edge, no polish, engine-like growl, powerful sustained notes, road-worn wild energy] Just a boy from down the southern way Sat with joystick in the break of day Atari hummed where shadows used to play Pushing every second, wouldn’t walk away [bridge] Screen turned pale, the hours slipped on by Eyes locked hard against the glowing sky Every life I saved, I wouldn’t die Kept on pushing till the high score drew nigh [Chorus] I stayed up through the dark of the night Frostbite blazing till the morning light Fingers raw and burning, skin pulled tight I beat the score beyond the final height [Bridge] Blisters rose where my hands gripped hard and sore Didn’t feel the pain, I only wanted more Till the numbers rolled right off the final door Zeroed out the count, I couldn’t ask for more [Chorus] I stayed up through the dark of the night Frostbite blazing till the morning light Blisters on my hands, I won the fight Frostbite king till the first sun’s bright [Outro] Atari glow still lingers in my mind Zeroed the count, and left the old score behind…
