Pinball Wizard

歌詞

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 ain't seen nothin' 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 bumpers, always playing clean He plays by intuition, the digit counters fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist (How do you think he does it?) I don't know (What makes him so good?) Well, he ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells Don't see no lights a-flashin', he plays by sense of smell Always have a replay, never tilts at all That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball He can't beat me now, I've always been the champ I know every trick, no freak's gonna beat my hand (Oh, can't explain) (Oh, can't explain) (Oh, can't explain) (Oh, can't explain) Even on my usual table, he can beat the best His disciples lead him in and he just does the rest He's got crazy flipper fingers, I've never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist He's a pinball wizard, he scores a trillion more A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord He's scoring more, he's scoring more I thought I was the Bally table king But I just handed my pinball crown to him To him, to him
