LYRICS

Verse 1
Had a pegasister back in school
Only filly flier for a mile or two
We was thick a thieves, two hairs in a tail
Even got invited to Cloudsdayle

A flock friends flew me up, held tight
The bass and the liquor were pounding till the daylight
Drunk hit my brain, like a media crescendo
Then they started chuckin’ ponies out the window

Pre-Chorus
One by one were thrown off and flew back up doing tricks
It happened fast, but somehow I got thrown over in the mix
The ground came at me lighting quick. Got me I crying, screaming and kinda sick.
You were too drunk to notice, and too loud to listen, but I
Guess my broken limb, ain’t worth the falling’ distance


Chorus
Well I, Guess I'll camp out here on the ground cuz my
My lack of fringes just seems to slow you down
They called out "Sorry!” and “Glad you didn't bite it!"
Well, glue your wings and jump and we'll see how you like it!

If there's a race in life you'll win
I'll be here below the stratosphere as long as you’re in it
Can’t flutter for nothin, but you still got a rise
I'd love to be flapping instead of just tapping, but that's just not happening.
I'll never be fly like you
Fly like you
Fly like you

Verse 2
I was scratchin' an itch that I just couldn’t find
And mah little pegasister was there by my side
I asked "honey, you got a wing you could spare?"
Her feather flicked a fly and she just said
"Grow a pair."

I'd had enough and I spat too quick
"What'd your mama do to go and make you be so prickly"
I’d had enough of biting my lip she said
"You and that bump clear your own clouds, skip."

Pre-Chorus
I said “watch your back, cuz this bump could shoot you out the sky!”
She smiled and said “guess you were dropped on your head, but I
See the reason why.”
I kicked a bucket as she caught a breeze and I screamed "I'd bet you'd kill for one of these!"
I trained up my horn up to the sky as a weapon and I
sprayed a ray and prayed and cleared it up in about…two seconds

Chorus
Can't keep up whatever I do
And I'm sorry my hooves and horn just bore you
You can clear the sky in 10 seconds flat?
Well I can beat your time by 8 so…how bout that?

If there was a race in life you'd win
I'll be here below the stratosphere as long as you're in it
Flutter above me but you'll never get a rise
Even come at me with somethin' real snappy, I'll still be happy never bein' fly like you

Bridge
I’ve been told to turn the other cheek and rise above it
The weather is perfect so all expect worship but
I think they can shove it!

I bite my tongue, choke, swallow and smile when I’m around her
But it’s tough to get manic, bout the aerodynamic when there’s
All these wiseguy, pegasii  flyin' by screamin'
"Suck it grounder!"

Chorus
Can't keep up, whatever, I tried
And I'll never crack your clique cuz I don't go Mach V
Countin’ down the days till you crash and witness
How gravity makes the rest of us it's dirty little mistress.

If there was a race in life you'd win
I'll be here below the stratosphere as long as you’re in it
Go and take a picture, it's the last time I'll be by

Flexing your wings all's you do, it's depressing
[spoken] Oh and watch where you're flyin', when you splat it's real nasty

To hell with your flapping, you all need a good wrapping
While we all die happy
Never bein' fly like you
I’ll never be fly like you

LYRICS

VERSE 1
You know the view is best from up top
And the zero g feels so angelic
The world seems so graceless
But getting near weightless
Is the only way I’m complete

Engines roaring
Full throttle, I’m soarin’
Pushed to the back of my seat

CHORUS
No fear in stallin’ 
Tailslide down, I’m fallin’
Lightning shoots up my spine
Up to the red line, I’m free
When it’s just the sky and me

VERSE 2
All of the crowd hoop and gasp with their wows
Slack-jawed, jumping, holl-rin’ at the gate

Hangers on pat my shoulders
Their jealously smolders with
Veiled attempts to deflate

They’ll say “you’ve had a good run
Work ain’t s‘posed to be fun
Grow up before it’s too late”

CHORUS
No fear in stalling, I’m free
When it’s just the sky and me

BRIDGE
When you’re soarin’, your brain starts pourin’
Over words of voices that keep cuttin’ in
“Get a 9-5, be more safe, settle down
Can’t you be yourself with your feet on the ground?” 

“Just don’t spend your whole life reaching,
Cuz before you’ve won, it’ll stop being fun.
You’ll get tired, and the climb'll get too steep”
So dive deep

VERSE 3
The wind keeps on poundin’
I’m not looking down and
I’m too busy dancing with the squalls

No boss, just objectives
Like shattering records 
Giving each aerobic my all

Streaks of blue and white there’s
Nothing like it
Swimming in my stratos-sea

CHORUS / ENDING
Lightning shoots up my spine
Right up to the red line,

Even when it’s goodbye, and I’m
Falling for the last time
I’m free

And I hope someday you’ll be
Just like the sky and me

Dare Master (feat. Brittany Church) [the 2017 update]

So this is a cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths done in the style of Super Mario Bros.. I'm planning on doing a video as soon as I can figure out how to work with Flash. The sound effects are only there to help the listener visualize the "game". I'm looking to do other 80s songs in this style as well (with accompanying videos). Enjoy!

LYRICS
Wading through a ruthless wasteland
Stealing glimpses at the light
Who ever thought we’d be walking without you
You were the glue that kept us all so tight

Darkness wants to last forever
All that's good just seems to pass
The insight you had that you gave to us freely
You made our view grow brighter and clearer
by passing through your glass

And Now that we are on our own
the rain has gotten wetter
All the clouds are more dark
but we will make these things better

Your keen eyes for observation
peering out for duty's need
I had been blessed when they settled upon me
Flawed and foolish, it was all agreed

As time went on we grew closer
Little secrets get revealed
And All together we could work magic
You helped me to understand the need
Your strength, our shield

And now that we are on our own
the rain has gotten wetter
all the clouds are more dark
but we will make these things better

One less soul who knows our secrets
Another spirit roaming free
for sure I know we’ll take heed of the whispers
Left in our ears like shadows that could be

We have dreams and inner demons
We push on through our regret
We’re Thinking about all the joy at our victories
Even while sadness snares us in its net

So I know that we’ll remember
Even if we need you now
It’s easy to start, but it’s so hard to finish
Living without you there’s less to hold on to
It’s so much harder now.

And now that we are on our own
the rain has gotten wetter
all the clouds are more dark
but we will make these things better

And now that we are on our own
The road has gotten longer
with every step we take
We are growing ever stronger

On Our Own (feat. Brittany Church)

So this one is a version of "Come on Eileen" done in the style of Pac Man (with another game thrown in. try to guess which one :))

1982 was a very good year for me. I was 10, thoroughly addicted to videogames & I fell in love for the first time with a girl I met at summer camp. This song (and game) was the soundtrack to that summer. I still think of her every time I hear it :). Hope you enjoy this one! More to come!

Come On Eileen (Blinkys 8-bit Chasers version) by lazyitis

I imagine a little pixelated fighter with a sword storming an 8 bit castle to slay a pixelated vampire... or werewolf... or what the heck is that creature supposed to be anyway?! Oh well, it has little red eyes and jumps around.

Dark Castle (8 bit lovin')

A little chiptune I made during the Kingdom Come: Deliverance development. One has to have coffee breaks every now and then, right?

While Kingdom Was Being Delivered (made with beepbox.co)

Outkast- Hey Ya! In 8-bit, very fun to make, very fun to listen to :)

8-bit Outkast Hey Ya!

8bit is witchcraft, Praise Smooze! And check out my other Atari stuff: http://soundcloud.com/adam_sporka/sets/ready-atari-800xl

This was a quick job in Raster Music Tracker, rendered using an Atari 800XL emulator, mastered in Reaper. Fun levels were increased since the last version of this song.
