The Galaxy
Walking into the Galaxy
Got a few spare coins so I
See if I can set the high score
Drop some metal into the chamber
Hear it sink down out of my existence
Metal ball falls into the groove
Pull it back then I let it loose
See twinkling lights and hear bells ring
As it falls back to me
Got to be quick with the flippers
Hits off the bumper and I swing it back
I’m too fast for this smooth metal Pearl
It comes right back at me and I agree
That I have magic fingertips
Push the button what comes next
In the hole a beat past one
Kicks it out so I can continue this song
But I have to be fast to save this one
Hits some rubber and rebounds
My fingers have it figured out
So I hit the left and hit the right
Sometimes I do both at the same time
Slap them two just like a 1 2
Look up I’m the Jungle Queen
See my name at the top of the screen
I just did my all time best but
As I walk out of the pinball museum
Look down and check my pockets
I just lost my paper boy money
Got a few spare coins so I
See if I can set the high score
Drop some metal into the chamber
Hear it sink down out of my existence
Metal ball falls into the groove
Pull it back then I let it loose
See twinkling lights and hear bells ring
As it falls back to me
Got to be quick with the flippers
Hits off the bumper and I swing it back
I’m too fast for this smooth metal Pearl
It comes right back at me and I agree
That I have magic fingertips
Push the button what comes next
In the hole a beat past one
Kicks it out so I can continue this song
But I have to be fast to save this one
Hits some rubber and rebounds
My fingers have it figured out
So I hit the left and hit the right
Sometimes I do both at the same time
Slap them two just like a 1 2
Look up I’m the Jungle Queen
See my name at the top of the screen
I just did my all time best but
As I walk out of the pinball museum
Look down and check my pockets
I just lost my paper boy money
