One Second Ghost

All eight bits of me
 Are solidly
 Committed to side-scrolling
 And no enemies
 Can vanquish me
 Or the power I'm controlling
 But I suddenly scream "Shit!""
 Because my guy has just been hit
 With my hits points indicator less than full
 But it's quite inconsequential
 And my wrath will be torrential
 For the following one second
 I am in-vin-ci-a-ble
 ('cause I'm a)
 One Second
 One Second Ghost
 One Second
 One Second Ghost
 The cause of my awesomeNES
 Has been diagnosed
 ('cause I'm a)
 One Second
 One Second Ghost
 Post contact I am flashing
 And on the screen I'm dashing
 'Cause my time as a specter is so limited
 But even though I've just been damaged
 I turn that to my advantage
 You can't stop this platform gaming rivethead
 ('cause I'm a)
 One Second
 One Second Ghost
 The cause of your imminent death
 Has been diagnosed
 One Second
 One Second Ghost
 You try to do me in
 Well almost
 You get
 Vengeance from the other side
 Where pixel poltergeists reside
 It's the power you play with
 When you play Nintendo
 So take this song as a tutorial
 For going incorporeal
 'Cause if you strike me down
 I'll rise like a crescendo
