lyrics

Left or right, life is a maze
Always running, stay in the chase
Can't stand still or you're caught in a trap
Got to know your way round the map

Stay alert and earn your keep,
In every corner there's something to eat
Be good, clear your plate
Power up, keep the spectres at bay

And your reward for every success
Is the more you win the faster life gets
So level up, there's nowhere to hide
From Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde

Slay your demons, ward off the ghosts,
Relax for a couple of seconds at most
For three (high) score levels and ten
They're always back to haunt you again

Like Patrick McGoohan fleeing from Rover
It's when not if your game is over
Escape to the east, back on the west
No time to Pac-up and get some rest

And your reward for every success
Is the more you win the faster life gets
So level up, there's nowhere to hide
From Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde

Like Patrick McGoohan fleeing from Rover
It's when not if your game is over
Escape to the left, back on the right
Stay in the Shadows keep out of sight

And your reward for every success
Is the more you win the faster life gets
So level up, there's nowhere to hide
From Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde
