Elton John - Pinball Wizard 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

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

He ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes and bells

Don't see lights a-flashing, 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

Even on my usual table, he can beat the best

His disciples lean 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's scored 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
