lyrics

sunday and the dryers are all out of order
needed something to do with all of those quarters
crossed the street and went to pinball pete's
heard they had two tetris machines

this girl trades me four quraters for 10 dimes
then she starts clearing four lines at a time
she's got the hands and the eyes
i'm gonna make her mine

though i've never been very good at video games
couldn't kill ganon
couldn't beat the mother brain
and of course she's a tough act to follow
800,000 points and she only spent a dollar

low as i get she's always lower
and i'm trying to last, not playing to score
i'm feeling like a square but i'll give it a whirl
you can laugh all you want
but i'm really in love with tetris girl

tetris girl
i know you've been played
but how do i get in the game
tetris girl
i had a lot of lines
but something always seems to get in the way

i saw her again just the other night
she knew who i was without looking up
the girl and i who will never hook up
she won't even be polite
she said i want some visine
i want some visine
i'll give you my love
if you give me some visine

i'd love to play like this all night
but i know that things won't stack up right
we have these short conversations
i might die just waiting for a long one

she's got the hands and she's got the moves
she swears that i've got nothing to prove
but i must have hit select
i've got no idea what happens next

and if you check the high schore screen
one through four reads a c i
number five says i heart u and that's mine
