pinball wizard
john, elton
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 nothin' like him
sure plays a mean pinball
becomes part of the machine
sure plays a mean pinball
how do you think he does it?
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
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pinball
i've always been the champ
no freak's gonna beat my hand
even at my favorite table
his disciples lead him in
and he just does the rest
he's got crazy flipper fingers
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pinball
for the girls who dig pinball lore
