Текст песни Pinball Wizard - Live At Wembley / 1975 - Elton John

Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all
I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

Oh, 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
Deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
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 seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was the Bally table king
But he showed me my will

On my favourite table, he can beat my best
His disciples lean 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
Pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
Pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

Just like, oh
Just like, oh (oh, oh, oh)

I thought I was the Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
To him, to him...

Yeah-yeah

We we're gonna go on after that one you see
Except there's a bit short on numbers

You might not like it very well so we need some moral support
Thank you once again
I mean, amazing for us, it's the start of a new year
Thank you very much
