<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>
