What is reality anyway?
Why can't I be pixelated?
Traversing mountains in front of me,

Pale shapes in paler landscapes.
I've never been fond of gravity,
What goes up can only come down.

I'm so restricted why can't you see?
I'm a victim of remote control.


And all of your dreams can come true,
In that LCD view.


8 bit, 7 days a week,
No matter how many tasks I complete.
I'm on, I'm off, I'm left, I'm right,

My thumbs are stuck on X and Y.
9 lives, each one on the line,
I'm always losing but it's worth the try.

I'm on, I'm off, I'm left, I'm right,
No sleep tonight.


I am a digital wannabe,
I get all my kicks from TV,
Cause flesh and blood is just boring me,

Still I wait for new technology.
Maybe I like being in control,
Maybe my life's just too dull,

There's nothing out there that's not in here,
I'm a shut-in with no sense at all.


I think I'll stay alone tonight,
I'm anti-social but what more can I do?


8 bit, 7 days a week,
No matter how many tasks I complete.
I'm on, I'm off, I'm left, I'm right,

My thumbs are stuck on X and Y.
9 lives, each one on the line,
I'm always losing but it's worth the try.

I'm on, I'm off, I'm left, I'm right,
No sleep tonight.


So far away from
The pains and pressures of the world.
There's a place where

It's so much easier to cope.
I catch my breath.
It's been too long,

I'm feeling like I'm turning off tonight.

8 bit, 7 days a week,

No matter how many tasks I complete.
I'm on, I'm off, I'm left, I'm right,
My thumbs are stuck on X and Y.

9 lives, each one on the line,
I'm always losing but it's worth the try.
I'm on, I'm off, I'm left, I'm right,

No sleep tonight
