| Tilt |
| (words and music by 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 won’t appear again |
| But this is just another game I’ve played so badly |
| Right from the start |
| And through the bells and buzzers you’re still singing sadly |
| It tears me apart |
| The higher you fly |
| The farther you gotta fall |
| Chorus: |
| Tilt — you’re pushing too hard |
| Try just another ball |
| Tilt — so why’s it so hard |
| Keeping it under control |
| Take it easy take your time, you said |
| Take me home I’ll see you soon enough |
| You say I’m pushing but it’s in your head |
| I feel so helpless, you say I’m so tough |
| And now we fight it out until I just can’t hear you |
| I can’t understand |
| When all I want is just permission to be near you |
| Holding your hand |
| But nobody said |
| The lights would keep flashing red |
| Chorus |
