Pinball King Lyrics by Terra Lightfoot

New Mistakes

2017

In our nation's capital
You took me out and we played pinball games
On shiny old machines
You had your quarters rolled
The high score bell just kept on ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
I could feel the heat as we stepped out to the street
And the band played way too loud
And I said
Hey, hey, hey
I'm never leaving this town
And you say, say, say
Just kiss me on the river canal
Hey, hey, hey
What are we supposed to do now?
A California dream
I was your red-eyed queen
This morning I got in at half-past eight
And you, my Pinball King
You stole my heart
And made it sing each time you got another replay
I could feel the heat as we rolled across the city
Like a speeding silver ball
And I said
Hey, hey, hey
I'm never leaving this town
And you say, say, say
Just kiss me on the river canal
Hey, hey, hey
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
So when this game is done
Just start another one
Oh, Pinball King, I know you never lose
Lafayette Hotel, cast a lonely, longing spell
'Til you say
Hey, hey, hey
I'm never leaving this town
And you say, say, say
Just kiss me on the Rideau Canal
Hey, hey, hey
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
What are we supposed to do now?
So farewell, Pinball King
I don't know if I will see you again
