Tilt

Happened last year when I met you down at Ground Kontrol
Fatty climbed the stairs with ten dollars wrapped up in a roll
Harmless flirting, dropped my coins all up in your receptacle
One year later got me more retarded than a vegetable
From the first time that I pulled back the plunger and you know I let it go
I knew that I had lost it and I knew that you had gained control
In the beginning I could see you on and off for a week
Now if I don't hit a bumper than I can't fall asleep
Kept telling all my friends that I could stop when I wanted
Addictive personality yo I've been trainspotted
Should have stopped coming back when you went from a hobby to a lifestyle
I got pictures of me playing you up on my profile
AIM handle PinballFanatic81
I've played this game for one year and you know I've never won
I know the way you're wired, every way in which your built
But some how you got my lights flashing, screaming out TILT!

First time I placed my hands upon you know I broke into a cold sweat
Not knowing in the future that it'd be something I'd regret
From taking cold showers, to hating you for hours
I love you and if I died you wouldn't even send me flowers
And obviously I'm not the only man in your life
Three more entries in your top score after I had left last night
And it's pointless even starting one real fight with you
Cause you're a robot and you're heartless and you don't even care
You're not aware, of this giant cross that I have to bare
They see me weeping so the other customers point and they stare
It isn't fair, I think you like to see me demented
You're like the single coldest pallor game like ever invented
And I wanna shred it, rip you up and tear you to pieces
Bust ya wide open just to see what releases
I know the way you're wired, every way in which your built
But some how you got my lights flashing, screaming out TILT!

And ya tilt, tilt, tilt me outta my mind
You're stressing me out when I just need to unwind
And ya tilt, tilt, tilt me outta my soul
Driving around Portland with nowhere to go

And I can't figure out a way in which to end this
Cause if this machine had a voice she could finish this sentence
Played her wearing dress shoes and flip flops
For the very longest time I've depended on the DMD and back box
And she send me love in the form of multiball action
Not an everyday distraction, I just love it with a passion
Lay in bed at night and I dream about the flipper
You can check out all the pics that I've posted on Flickr
Because she's always there for me at the end of a long day
And I'm the only one I know that's ever gotten 80 free plays
Hitting these bumpers and matching the numbers
Just circuits in this cabinet but you all know that I love her
These sounds they drive me crazy, come and save me I'm a baby
But she never comes to slay me just because she thinks I'm lazy
I know the way you're wired, every way in which your built
Loving every flash of light while I'm screaming out TILT!
