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 you're built

But some how you got my lights flashing, screaming out TILT!

(I know the way you’re wired, every way in which you're built

But some how you got my lights flashing, screaming out TILT!)

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

The customers see me weeping, yo, they come up and stare

And it's not fair, but I think you like me demented

You’re like the single coldest parlor game like ever invented

And I wanna end 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 you're built

But some how you got my lights flashing, screaming out TILT!

(I know the way you’re wired, every way in which you're built

But some how you got my lights flashing, screaming out TILT!)

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

I've 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

Late at night I lay in bed and dream about the flipper

You can check out all the pictures 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 gotten 80 free plays

I'm hitting up these bumpers, matching up the numbers

Circuits in this cabinet but you 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!
