Count to Three (feat. The Stupendium & Ellen McLain)

Is this what you've been waiting for?
Say, "One, two and four"
(You're bound to count to one, two)
(You're bound to count to one, two)
(You're bound to count to one, two)
Guess what comes after

Hi again, I'm Gabe N
A fan of shooters, wizard of computers and a handsome man
(Your grandfather used to blather 'bout him a thousand years ago)
Wasn't easy keeping busy
Every season brings another reason not to make a game
(Oh, why bother, just another wasted day in the studio)

I had it all but tried new things, true
It didn't get us very far
Between controllers and machines, you
Still picked a rusty old crowbar
Nobody sees beyond my charming self
A soul that's never truly free
So, just for once, forget the summer sale
And give it up for Half-Life, Alyx

The valve's been stuck, corroded by the money
Has not been oiled for years
We didn't even hope to see it running
But now you're bound to learn how to
But now you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to count to three

(You're bound to count to one, two)
(You're bound to count to one, two)
(You're bound to count to one, two)
(Guess what's coming after)

Well, here we are again
Except we're long forgotten
My circuits niggling up and down my spine
He said it's worth the wait
His weight keeps pressing harder
But Alyx gave us hope, we'll rise and shine

For soulless card games and hardware releases
The light's been turning green
Life gave you lemons, take them out the freezer
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to count

The numbers are intimidating
It's hard to give a fresh new start
When everyone's anticipating
Another masterpiece of art
If this machine keeps playing dead, we
May end up on the other side
So hold on to all your hats
Let's show 'em a triple-A done right

The valve's been stuck, corroded by the money
But after many years
We can't believe the engine started running
This time he's bound to count to three

Full steam ahead, we'll end this idle running
Let's give the valve a spin!
We've got some work to do, so take this, honey
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to count to three

Thank you and have fun
