John Elton Pinball Wizard Pete Townshend Released In 1976 lyrics

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 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 bumpers, always playing 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 or bells
Don`t 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
He`s got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
