Pinball King
In our nation's capital
You took me out
And we played pinball games on shiny old machines
You had your quarters rolled
The high score bells just kept on ringing
Ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
I could feel the heat
As we stepped out to the street
And the band played way too loud
And I said
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm never leaving this town"
And you say, say, say
"Just kiss me on the river canal"
Hey, hey
But what are we supposed to do now?
A California dream, I was your red-eyed queen
This morning I got in at half past eight
And you my pinball king,
You stole my heart
And made it sing each time you got another replay
I could feel the heat
As we rolled across the city
Like a speeding silver ball
And I said
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm never leaving this town"
And you say, say, say
"Just kiss me on the river canal"
Hey, hey, but what are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
So when this game is done
Just start another one
Oh pinball king, I know you'll never lose
The Lafayette Hotel
Cast a lonely longing spell
'Til you said
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm never leaving this town"
And you say, say, say
"Just kiss me on the Rideau Canal"
Hey, hey, but what are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
So farewell, pinball king
I don't know if I will see you again
You took me out
And we played pinball games on shiny old machines
You had your quarters rolled
The high score bells just kept on ringing
Ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
I could feel the heat
As we stepped out to the street
And the band played way too loud
And I said
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm never leaving this town"
And you say, say, say
"Just kiss me on the river canal"
Hey, hey
But what are we supposed to do now?
A California dream, I was your red-eyed queen
This morning I got in at half past eight
And you my pinball king,
You stole my heart
And made it sing each time you got another replay
I could feel the heat
As we rolled across the city
Like a speeding silver ball
And I said
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm never leaving this town"
And you say, say, say
"Just kiss me on the river canal"
Hey, hey, but what are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
So when this game is done
Just start another one
Oh pinball king, I know you'll never lose
The Lafayette Hotel
Cast a lonely longing spell
'Til you said
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm never leaving this town"
And you say, say, say
"Just kiss me on the Rideau Canal"
Hey, hey, but what are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
So farewell, pinball king
I don't know if I will see you again
