Sunday evening down the penny arcade |
|
I see your face in the pinball game |
|
Put in a quarter and it starts to fade |
|
Tell myself it won't appear again |
|
But this is just another game I've played so badly |
|
Right from the start |
|
And through the bells and buzzers you're still singing sadly |
|
It tears me apart |
|
The higher you fly |
|
The farther you gotta fall |
|
Tilt - you're pushing too hard |
|
Try just another ball |
|
Tilt - so why's it so hard |
|
Keeping it under control |
|
Take it easy take your time, you said |
|
Take me home I'll see you soon enough |
|
You say I'm pushing but it's in your head |
|
I feel so helpless, you say I'm so tough |
|
And now we fight it out until I just can't hear you |
|
I can't understand |
|
When all I want is just permission to be near you |
|
Holding your hand |
|
But nobody said |
|
The lights would keep flashing red |
|
Tilt - you're pushing too hard |
|
Try just another ball |
|
Tilt - so why's it so hard |
|
Keeping it under control |
