Elton John - Pinball Wizard Lyrics
Written by pete townshendReleased as a uk single in 1976Available on the soudtrack tommyEver since I was a young boy I played the silver ballFrom soho down to brighton I must have played them allBut I aint seen nothing like him in any amusement hallThat deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinballHe stands like a statue, becomes part of the machineFeeling all the bumpers, always playing cleanPlays by intuition, the digit counters fallThat deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinballHes a pinball wizard, there has to be a twistA pinball wizards got such a supple wristHow do you think he does it I dont knowWhat makes him so goodAint got no distractions, cant hear no buzzes or bellsDont see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smellAlways gets a replay, never seen him fallThat deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinballI thought I was the bally table kingBut I just handed my pinball crown to himEven on my favourite table, he can beat my bestHis disciples lean him in and he just does the restHes got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fallThat deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
