sunset arcade

this place is make believe

no one has any parents

and nobody ever leaves

they've all made special arrangements

sheesh

there's dust on your freckles

freckles on your cheeks

i met you this morning

but it seems like weeks

and that's the way

the summer gets made

at the sunset arcade

the sunset arcade

at the sunset arcade

yeah

you musta been born here

you break all the rules

by the pinball and the old pier

but your eyes are so blue

maybe you're faking it too

now the summer's all dried up

jellyfish on the beach

i ask if you want a soda

but that's just a figure of speech

secretly i am happy

until the quarters run out

leave the quarters where i don't belong

with some shadow thrashing about

and that's the way

the summer gets made

at the sunset arcade

the sunset arcade

at the sunset arcade

sunset arcade

yeah
