Текст песни Elton John - Pinball Wizard

[Piano arpeggiated] |  |  | {4 times}

Ever since I was a young boy I 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 mean pinball.

He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean.
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays 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?

Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells.
Don't see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell.
Always gets a replay, never tilts at all.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays 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.

 [Instrumental x 4]  4/4 bars |:     |     :|

Even on my usual table he can't beat my best.
His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest.
He got crazy flipper fingers - I never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb an blind kid sure plays 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's scored a trillion more.
A pinball wizard the world's new pinball lord.
     He's scorin' more.   He scored more.

I thought I was the Bally table king                              [STOP]

     but I just handed my pinball crown to him.       To him.  To him
