<br>

I feel like a pinball in a pinball machine <br>

I always end up in the hole <br>

The lights keep on flashing <br>

If you know what I mean <br>

But I always end up in the hole <br>

This life I made ain't near <br>

What I expect <br>

You see I paid my dues <br>

Now when do I collect <br>

<br>

I wanna piece of the action <br>

I wanna slice of a pie <br>

I wanna get on the fast track <br>

And kiss all of this goodbye <br>

It's time for uppin' the ante <br>

It's time for raisin' the stakes <br>

I got the looks and the talent <br>

I got whatever it takes <br>

<br>

I started out in the gutter <br>

I made it up to the street <br>

I got my eye on a penthouse <br>

A neat little penthouse suite <br>

I'm gonna go for the glory <br>

I'm gonna shoot for the moon <br>

I wanna piece of the action <br>

And I'm gonna get it <br>

I'm gonna get it soon <br>

<br>

Yes, I feel it comin' <br>

I feel it comin' this time <br>

And no one can stop me <br>

Nothin' can stop me, now <br>

And I got it comin', this time <br>

And all those two bit tricks <br>

Can take a walk <br>

I got dreams as big as New York <br>

<br>

I wanna piece of the high life <br>

I wanna taste of the cream <br>

I wanna play in the big leagues <br>

And be on the winning team <br>

I'm gonna go for the glory <br>

I'm gonna shoot for the moon <br>

I wanna piece of the action <br>

And I'm gonna get it I'm gonna get it soon <br>

<br>
