Tilt — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Sunday evening down the penny arcade

I see your face in the pinball game

Put in a quarter and it starts to fade

Tell myself it wont appear again

But this is just another game Ive played so badly

Right from the start

And through the bells and buzzers youre still singing sadly

It tears me apart

The higher you fly

The farther you gotta fall



Tilt - youre pushing too hard

Try just another ball

Tilt - so whys it so hard

Keeping it under control



Take it easy take your time, you said

Take me home Ill see you soon enough

You say Im pushing but its in your head

I feel so helpless, you say Im so tough

And now we fight it out until I just cant hear you

I cant understand

When all I want is just permission to be near you

Holding your hand

But nobody said

The lights would keep flashing red



Tilt - youre pushing too hard

Try just another ball

Tilt - so whys it so hard

Keeping it under control
