Elton John - Pinball Wizard lyrics

[Elton John - Pinball Wizard lyrics]

Ever since I was a young boy
I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton I
Must've 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 and bells
Don't see lights a-flashin'
He plays by sense of smell
Always has 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
