Vacuum Fluorescent Display Songtext
von Bedford Level Experiment

Collecting the bottle caps, we needed all six
Trying to spell Pac-Man, the C was hard to get
I got my prize, a plastic yellow disc
With four buttons, and in the middle a

Vacuum fluorescent display
The brilliant glow
Pierced my soul

I got Defender, on sale at Kay-Bee Toys
Powered with four Ray-O-Vac batteries
A variable speed control that would shift the pitch
So many buttons, like hyperspace!


Vacuum fluorescent display
The brilliant glow
Pierced my soul

Then Tron with light-cycles and throwing discs
Defeating the MCP, without the help of Bit
Playing an electronic game about a game inside the game
Wrapping the score at 1,999

Vacuum fluorescent display
The brilliant glow
Pierced my soul
Vacuum fluorescent display
The brilliant glow
Pierced my soul
