Joe Jackson - Tilt Lyrics
Sunday evening down the penny arcadeI see your face in the pinball gamePut in a quarter and it starts to fadeTell myself it wont appear againBut this is just another game Ive played so badlyRight from the startAnd through the bells and buzzers youre still singing sadlyIt tears me apartThe higher you flyThe farther you gotta fallTilt - youre pushing too hardTry just another ballTilt - so whys it so hardKeeping it under controlTake it easy take your time, you saidTake me home Ill see you soon enoughYou say Im pushing but its in your headI feel so helpless, you say Im so toughAnd now we fight it out until I just cant hear youI cant understandWhen all I want is just permission to be near youHolding your handBut nobody saidThe lights would keep flashing redTilt - youre pushing too hardTry just another ballTilt - so whys it so hardKeeping it under control
