In this life arcade I am one in a million Bouncing off the pins Of a neon illusion I know some play for fun But I know you play to win I'm just trying to get through And I'm watching the quarters fall in
I should've been wise to the conversation You were shutting your eyes on the situation
Today I see clearer I'm just a silver ball Shooting by you like a mirror Reflecting that is all I'm racing down the line At the speed of light I'm suddenly reminded Why I even tried
I should've been wise to the conversation You were shutting your eyes on the situation And all of these points that you're busy collecting I'm finally starting to question
At the end of the day It's just a game that we play And a fistful of paper tickets Will get you nothing but a plastic ring
I'm now wise to the conversation You were shutting your eyes on the situation All that we're striving for Is a straight shot through I recognize there's just some work to do
