Pete Townshend
Pinball Wizard
Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
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 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 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?)

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 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
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 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!
