Gonna Be Another Late Night
Album: Chance of a Lifetime
Lyrics by Melissa Bianco
Upbeat rock with a strong, singalong beat and playful female vocals, capturing the wired, slightly loopy energy of a game-development crunch night.
Lyrics
Gonna be another late night
Crunching for deadline
Brain’s just about offline
Uh huh, uh huh
Gonna be another late night
One zone down pass it around
Still four more, that’s the score
Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah I’m tired, wired
Creatively uninspired
It’s a fine line
It’s tiring but fun, oh yeah
Gonna be another late night
Screens glowin’, tea is cooling down
Gonna be another late night
No turning back nearly there now
Gonna be another late night
Game on the line, can’t turn back time
Ooh oh, ooh oh
Hard drive humming loud
Losing track of time wow
Thought I’d be done by now
Yeah yeah yeah
Could be I’m loopy but
Clockworks blinking right at me
They don’t have eyes
So color me surprised
Now my head is in a haze
Worse than the Perez Park maze
Did I just hear Apex speak
Hallucinating, need some sleep
Gonna be another late night
Beta looming, it’s nearly two
Gonna be another late night
Every fix breaks something new
Gonna be another late night
Plumb out of time, yeah it’s true
Ooh oh, ooh oh
Two more spawn bugs just for fun
Fixed the first, now there’s one
Brain’s in malfunction
Mouse hand doesn’t function
Uh huh, uh huh
Is sleep deprived a status effect?
The morning’s coming, eyes don’t shut
If you give in now, you’re out of luck
Crap, lost my file, haven’t seen it in a while
That’s not good, no good
Can’t fix this Troll spawn creature
Let’s just call it a feature
Don’t get it done, up a creek
Maybe review will buy me a week
A one-off repro
Are you kidding me, no
Head on the keyboard
Plumb out, plumb out of time
Gonna be another late night
Sun’s too close to call the play
Gonna be another late night
But I’m still pushing anyway
Gonna be another late night
Yeah we ship it, come what may
Sleep is for civilians
Pizza boxes stacked like villains
Gonna be another late night
Can’t miss it
We gotta ship it
