Standing in the rain, with her head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, she could picture the scene
Put her ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
She heard one gameboy, just blew her away
She saw stars in her eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up gray brick, in a used-game store
Didn't know how to play it, but she knew for sure
That one gameboy, felt good in her hands, didn't take long, to understand
Just one gameboy, held way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So she started bleepin', ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on bloopin', someday gonna make it to the top
And be an 8-bit hero, got coins in her eyes, she's an 8-bit hero
She took one gameboy, 8-bit hero, pixels in her eyes
8-bit hero, (stars in her eyes) She'll come alive tonight
