Some hills float over broken mountains
The volcanos are erupting now
Easter Island heads are not just pity sometimes
Arcing prominences burning really loud
One ship has the shield and lasers
One ship drops some missiles
One could do some double-shot firing
One just bursting the bubbles

Only in Gradius
Playing this game that was true
Only in Gradius
Where the gameplay wasn't very crude
We all get to see
This arcade game you believe
Only in Gradius

Some people are sick of high-speed levels
Ceilings and floors are ripping so much apart
Those options spin and you speed up some more
Do you think this game is hard
Those dragons are really just nasty
They come from a great inferno
Those misty suds are just splitting apart
And you can just shoot them,go with the flow

Only in Gradius
Playing this game that was cool
Only in Gradius
Where the graphics weren't very cruel
Everything's all right
This arcade game you just like
Only in Gradius

Only in Gradius
Playing this game just for fun
Only in Gradius
Where the action can't be very dumb
You will come and see
This arcade game you agree
Only in Gradius
Yeah,in Gradius!
