about

DDR was a big thing in the arcades for a while.

Recorded Jan 2009.

lyrics

I exchanged my quarters for tokens
I went to waste my time at the arcade
I danced all day on the DDR
I shot my gun into the night
Blowing up zombies and aliens
Dancing round magic mushrooms in the night
I played my video games all day
Girls they left me for boys with cars

Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Save the day with a plastic gun
Save the day on the run

I ran out of money
Headed straight for the mall’s wishing well
Pulled my shoes off I rolled up my pants
Waded in and scooped up some quarters
Near the Orange Julius stand
Gone straight back to the arcade
I can’t stay away from the dance
I need to play all night long

Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Save the day with a plastic gun
Save the day on the run

My cell phone is vibrating
Must be my mama looking for me
I’m gonna keep playing this game
The mall ain’t closed yet
That guy behind the counter
Hates taking my tickets for prizes
He tells me to go home
Leave that dance hero alone

Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Save the day with a plastic gun
Save the day on the run

There I was in the mall looking for things to do
Had nothing better out there nothing more for you
Everybody else is going away to school
I just got off my job at the Orange Julius
I need something to do
Or boredom’s gonna set in terminally
I need somewhere else to go
That’s why I became the dance dance hero

Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Dance dance hero, Dance dance hero
Save the day with a plastic gun
Save the day on the run
