Pinball Wizard (From "Tommy" Soundtrack)

Ever since I was a young boy

I've played the silver ball

From Soho down to Brighton

I must have played them allBut I ain't seen nothin' like him

In any amusement hall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinballHe stands like a statue

Becomes part of the machine

Feelin' all the bumpers

Always playing cleanHe plays by intuition

The digit counters fall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinballHe's a pinball wizard

There has to be a twist

A pinball wizard

Got such a supple wristHow do you think he does it?

I don't know

What makes him so good?He ain't got no distractions

Can't hear those buzzers and bells

Don't see lights a-flashin'

He plays by sense of smellAlways has a replay

And never tilts at all

That deaf dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinballHe can't beat me now

I've always been the champ

I know every trick

No freak's gonna beat my handEven at my favorite table

He can beat my best

His disciples lead him in

And he just does the restHe's got crazy flipper fingers

I've never seen him fall

That deaf dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinballHe's a pinball wizard

There has to be a twist

A pinball wizard

Got such a supple wristHe's a pinball wizard

He's scoring even more

A pinball wizard

For the girls who dig pinball lore

He's scoring more

He's scoring moreI thought I was

The bally table king

But I just handed my

Pinball crown to him

To him

To him
