One Second Ghost Lyrics

All eight bits of me
Are solidly
Committed to side-scrolling

And no enemies
Can vanquish me
Or the power I'm controlling

But I suddenly scream "Shit!""
Because my guy has just been hit
With my hits points indicator less than full

But it's quite inconsequential
And my wrath will be torrential
For the following one second
I am invinci-a-ble

('Cause I'm a)

One Second
One Second Ghost
One Second
One Second Ghost
The cause of my awesomeNES
Has been diagnosed
('Cause I'm a)
One Second
One Second Ghost

Post contact I am flashing
And on the screen I'm dashing
'Cause my time as a specter is so limited

But even though I've just been damaged
I turn that to my advantage
You can't stop this platform gaming rivet head

('Cause I'm a)

One Second
One Second Ghost
The cause of your imminent death
Has been diagnosed

One Second
One Second Ghost
You try to do me in
Well almost

You get
Vengeance from the other side
Where pixel poltergeists reside
It's the power you play with
When you play Nintendo

So take this song as a tutorial
For going incorporeal
'Cause if you strike me down
I'll rise like a crescendo
