Elton John Pinball Wizzard Lyrics

Written by pete townshend
Released as a uk single in 1976
Available on the soudtrack tommy

Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball
From soho down to brighton I must have played them all
But I aint seen nothing like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the b__pers, always playing clean
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

Hes a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizards got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it I dont know
What makes him so good

Aint got no distractions, cant hear no buzzes or bells
Dont see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay, never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was the bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him

Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best
His disciples lean him in and he just does the rest
Hes got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
