Pinball

Intro

Game on

Chorus

What do you do

When your world is shaken

When the only game in town

Is an ole pinball machine

Destined to tilt

Verse 1

You have to be on the ball

Not to fall into a hole

Not to lose your turn

Not to be in deep shit

Not to have your tilt sign lit

To be the only bright light

In the games you play

Verse 2

You should know the score

The pinball maker

Holds the repair bill

Like so many

I've paid the price to play

Bridge

Even the cheats lose

Playing their rigged game

Verse 3

I would like to play this out

If you're game to take me on

I can take the hits

That is

If you honestly give two bits

Chorus

What do you do

When your world is shaken

When the maker

Of your ole pinball machine

Has moved on

Outro

I guess

We could search iFixit to see

If anyone posted instructions on

How to repair an ole pinball machine.
