((Arcade ambience))((Pinball attract mode sounds))((Crowd chatter))((Coin drop))((Mechanical relay clicks))((Vinyl crackle)) (Spoken) Ball One... Always Ball One. ((Plunger launch))((Machine fires)) ⸻ (Verse 1) Twenty-six letters… Fill a million books One steel ball… a million looks Same old table, different game Every bounce rewrites the name Some see luck and some see fate Some blame tilt and curse the gate I learned long ago what the wizards know The groove decides where the ball goes ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) I quit chasing certainty The groove was never there It's hiding in the ricochet Floating through the air ⸻ (Chorus) Groovy baby, let the silver ball fly Chaos got a rhythm and I know why Every time I think I got the game figured out The playfield shifts and another path comes out Groovy baby, don't ask me what's true The machine stayed the same but the player grew Every ball is Ball One if you're paying attention Awareness dancing with chaos—enjoying your invention ⸻ ((Pinball bumper hits))((Crowd cheers))((Bass groove intensifies)) ⸻ (Verse 2) Saw a library holding ten thousand lives Same old letters wearing a different disguise Saw the same thing riding home one night In a lottery sign The parts are finite, combinations ain't Truth turns corners where certainty can't I chased the answer till the answer ran Now I'm just grooving with the Great Unknown Band ⸻ ((Rhodes piano flourish))((Pinball spinner))((Mechanical score reels)) ⸻ (Bridge) ((Music drops to bass and kick only)) Score too high? They'll rewrite the rules. Power up the bumpers. Remove the center post Code update. Tilt gets…Tight. Welcome to another monday night. New Player walks in— Drops a score I've never known. That's when the wizard smiles and says: The bounce took them there. ⸻ ((Machine multiball start))((Crowd erupts))((Full band explodes)) ⸻ (Final Chorus) Dance with chaos Let the silver ball fly Every answer turns to questions Every truth becomes a why Dance with chaos Till the lights all fade away The groove survives the final score And that's why I still play Groovy baby... Let it roll... ⸻ ((Machine sounds fade))((Single pinball bouncing)) Alright... Show me something… I haven't seen before. ((Final plunge))((Arcade ambience fades to silence))
