Rod Stewart - Rock Opera 'Tommy' [1914-1984]: 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 anyone like him

In any amusement hall

that deaf dumb and blind kid

sure pays a mean pin ball

He stands like a statue

becomes part of the machine

feeling all the bumpers

always playing clean

he plays by intuition

never seen him fall

that deaf dumb and blind kid

sure plays a mean pin ball

he's a pin ball wizard

there has to be a twist

the pin ball wizard

has gor a supple wrist

How do you think he does it ?

I don't know

What makes him so good?

He ain't got no distraction

he can't hear the buzz and bells

he don't see lights a flashing

he plays by sense of smell

always gets the replay

the digit counter falls

that deaf dumb and blind kid

sure plays a mean pin ball

he's a pin ball wizard

there has to be a twist

the pin ball wizard

has got a supple wrist
