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