Pinball Wizard

Lyrics by：Pete Townshend

Composed by：Pete Townshend

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 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 there has to be a twist

A pinball wizard's 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 no buzzes and bells

Don't see lights a flashin' he plays by sense of smell

Always has a replay never tilts at all

That deaf dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He can't beat me now I've always been the champ

I know every trick no freak's gonna beat my hand

Oh can't explain

Oh can't explain

Oh can't explain

Oh can't explain

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've never seen him fall

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

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

I thought I was the Bally table king

But I just handed my pinball crown to him

To him to him
