The Axis Of Awesome - Use By '97 lyrics

There's orange walls and a checkered floor The place is dusty and dirty An asian lady is stacking the shelves A bottle of coke is a $1.30 A poster above the register Tells me to munch on Muncheros It's been there so long it's faded and blue Like a papyrus from the tombs of the Pharohs Warheads and Pogs and Ghostbuster cards Kablooies and Pixie Sticks How long have they had this stock The shop that's stuck in 1996 The family that works here lives out the back They migrated here from Hong Kong Nothing has a used by date it's been here for that long I buy a rusty can of Tab she hands me my change with a smile It's full of 1 and 2 cent coins She's been counting it out for a while A Dunhill poster And old dim sims A limited edition Twix How do they stay in business The shop that's stuck in 1996 MMMMmmmm Chiko Rolls MMMMmmmm Simpsons Ice-cream MMMMmmmm Push Pops It's like I'm stuck in a weird 90's dream There's products and prices from my youth All at this mysterious store I hurried home to tell my friends To come with me and explore But when we got back to the shop we found that it didn't exist Well maybe they cut their loses And headed back to 1996 Yeah maybe they cut their loses And headed back to 1996 I said they headed for greener pastures And went back to 1996
