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
