King of the Arcade* lyrics

Lyrics from Melanie's Twitter

[Verse 1]
He tells me to stop the charade
But I'm so caught in his arcade
He's the king, I'm just a pawn
Animations that keep me yawning

[Chorus]
He doesn't want me to play games
But he's the king of the arcade
He can't see what I can see
An escape from reality

[Verse 2]
Each contest has its own dismay
Chasing after my K-O
Its a battle I want to win
Where I can be a king again

[Chorus]
He doesn't want me to play games
But he's the king of the arcade
He can't see what I can see
An escape from reality
[Bridge]
I just gotta break my chains
All the worries just wash away
Every time I press start I'm in control
Living and feeling what I know

[Chorus]
He doesn't want me to play games
But he's the king of the arcade
He can't see what I can see
An escape from reality
