Pete Townshend
Pinball Wizard
[UNIQUE]
Ever since I was a young boy
I've 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

[UNIQUE & VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Sure plays a mean pin ball!

[UNIQUE]
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

[UNIQUE & VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Sure plays a mean pin ball!

He's a pin ball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pin ball wizard
Got such a supple wrist
('How do you think he does it?)
I don't know!
(What makes him so good?')

[UNIQUE]
Well, he ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
He plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay
And never tilts at all...
That deaf dumb and blind kid

[UNIQUE & VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Sure plays a mean pin ball

He can't beat me now
I've always been the champ
I know every trick
No freak's gonna beat my hand

[UNIQUE]
Even on my usual table
He can beat the best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
I never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb, blind kid

[UNIQUE & VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wrist

He's a pinball wizard
His score's 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!
