pinball wizard (interlude)

people don't pay to see reginald dwight

they pay to see elton john

ever since i was a young boy

i played the silver ball

from soho down to brighton

i must've played them all

but i ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall

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

i don't know

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

he scores a trillion more

a pinball wizard

the world's new pinball lord

he's scoring more

he's scoring more
