Pinball Wizard — текст песни (Pete Townshend)

Ever since I was a young boy,
I`ve played the silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton
I must`ve played them all.
But I never seen anything 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?

He ain`t got no distractions,
Can`t hear no buzzers and bells.
Don`t see no lights a flashin`,
Plays by sense of smell,
Always has a replay,
An` never tilts at all...
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.

Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best.
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He`s got crazy flipper fingers,
Never seen him fall...
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!!!
