Nostalgic Adventures: Metal Mallitia Chronicles in an '87 Mall
Lyrics
Hey dude lets round the crew up and head out to the mall
Gathering friends to go to the mall
It's dimly lit but rad as shit we're sure to have a ball
Describing the mall atmosphere as cool and enjoyable
Play Gauntlet 2 and Dragon's Lair inside of the arcade
Mentioning playing specific arcade games
Steal quarters from the fountain cause I'm broke till I get paid
Expressing financial difficulty by stealing quarters
One Nine Eight Seven
Referencing the year 1987
Man I love this place
Expressing love for the mall
Free samples in the food court
Noticing free samples in the food court
I'd love to get a taste
Expressing interest in trying the samples
One Nine Eight Seven
Reiterating the year 1987
Adventures abound
Highlighting the adventurous spirit in the mall
Up and down the escalators till they shut the power down
Describing exploring the mall until closing time
Grab batteries for my Walkman inside Radio Shack
Mentioning buying batteries at Radio Shack for a Walkman
Some grub at Hot Dog On A Stick, a great place for a snack
Choosing Hot Dog On A Stick for a snack
Now Tape World or Sam Goody is always a safe bet
Identifying Tape World or Sam Goody as reliable music stores
To cop the latest D.R.I. or Murphy's Law cassette
Choosing these stores for purchasing music cassettes
Come with me there's a place we can go
Inviting someone to a special place
A place where adventures are abound
Emphasizing the adventurous nature of the suggested place
There's no need for a map or a compass
Stating no need for navigation tools in this place
There's bound to be one in your town
Believing such a place exists in every town
You can see from the directory
Referring to the mall directory
This place is like Pandora's Box
Comparing the mall to Pandora's Box
Grab a patch or pin for your battle vest
Suggesting buying patches or pins for a battle vest
Or a poster of Samantha Fox
Suggesting purchasing a poster of Samantha Fox
So shop
Encouraging shopping
We skateboard down the hallways, where no one would suspect
Describing unconventional activities like skateboarding in the mall
Eat nachos watching Freddy 3 inside the multiplex
Enjoying nachos while watching a movie
A stack of horror VHS, I need to get my fix
Expressing a desire for a collection of horror VHS tapes
I see Poison shirts and spandex, let's go hit on some chicks
Observing fashion items and expressing interest in socializing
