Tumor Circus

Pinball in the pocket
Fate is not our own
Something has to switch the machine on
Drop a quarter in
Youre popped up from below
Outside the glass
Springs pulled back
Ready or not here you go
FIRE!
Youre on the field
Bumper to bumper
Wall to wall
Lights go on
Bells go off
Flipped around
At the whim of unseen hands
[Chorus:]
Riding the fireball
How long will it last
Each force
Decides where the other goes
And theyre all out of control
Some people know theyve got it
Other people dont
Aint born with it
It takes both work and luck
Reach for strands of meaning
They all fly by so fast
Like picking branches from a train
It all slips through my hand
[Chorus:]
Riding a fireball
How long will it last
Trying to balance
On a floor always tilting down
Life roars by in such
A whirl of energy
Confidence, direction, speed
Knock down targets, rack up points
Try not to fall back down that hole
Time stops
Look around
Out there with you
Your more powerful twin
The one whom seems to be everything
You though you could never be
Its now or never
To knock em down
And sort of be free
Youre on a roll now...GO!
Collide
Action, equal reaction
Surprise
Big obstacles arent so much bigger after all
One chance
Leads to another and another
One shot
Might aim you
Straight through the gates
To wake the Gods
Release Wotan
Odin too
Extra balls
Allies, chances
Then one by one they vanish
Circumstances
Every day
Rocket fuel
Or they get in the way
On your own
Trying not to fall
With no means of but you
[Chorus:]
Riding the fireball
Gotta make it last
Way beyond
What you thought your limits were
Can almost grab the reins and use
That energy
Thrust and thwack and ricochet
One wrong shot your, youre helplessly
Rolling back down towards that hole
Game over
Plopped in the dark
At least I have time
To sort through all these flashes in my mind
