The Who - Pinball Wizard lyrics
[The Who - Pinball Wizard lyrics]
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must've played 'em 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
Feelin' all the bumpers, always playin' clean
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?
Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear no buzzes and bells
Don't see no lights a-flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets the 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 favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall that deaf, dumb
And blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must've played 'em 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
Feelin' all the bumpers, always playin' clean
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?
Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear no buzzes and bells
Don't see no lights a-flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets the 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 favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall that deaf, dumb
And blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
