One Second Ghost - The Gothsicles

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 in-vin-ci-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 rivethead

('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

One Second

One Second Ghost

One Second

One Second Ghost

The cause of your imminent death

Has been diagnosed

('Cause I’m a)

One Second

One Second Ghost

One Second

One Second Ghost

One Second

One Second Ghost

You try to do me in

Well, almost

('Cause I’m a)

One Second

One Second Ghost

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
