Pinball in the mall

Title: Steel Ball Prayer

Verse 1

Quarter drops, the table wakes

Glass lights up, the silence breaks

Plunger pulled, I hold my breath

Let it fly, cheat the drop, dodge death

Pre-Chorus

Every lane’s a promise, every rail a lie

You learn real quick how fast it can die

Chorus

Pinball in the mall, hear the bumpers call

Steel heart beating off the back wall

Left hand fire, right hand save

Ride that edge like a wave you crave

Verse 2

Spinner screams, lights go wild

Targets fall in a perfect line

Kickback saves what should be gone

You stay locked in, all night long

Pre-Chorus

Tilt light blinking—don’t you shove

Control the chaos, that’s the love

Chorus

Pinball in the mall, hear the bumpers call

Steel heart beating off the back wall

Left hand fire, right hand save

Ride that edge like a wave you crave

Bridge

Multiball hits—three at once

No time to think, just instinct and guts

Flippers snap like a loaded gun

You don’t play safe—you play to run

Break (half-spoken)

Clack—clack—buzz—ring

Everything comes down to timing

Final Chorus

Pinball in the mall, hear the bumpers call

Lights like lightning when the targets fall

Last ball hanging—don’t let it stall

King for a second—pinball in the mall

Outro

Game over whispers, but you don’t walk away

You’re already reaching for another play
