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
|
