Pinball Wizard — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

Ever since I was a young boy,
I played the silver ball;
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played `em all.
But I ain`t seen nothin` like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb an` blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feelin` all the bumpers
Always playin` clean.
Plays by intuition,
the digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb an` blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He`s a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist,
A pinball wizard,
got such a supple wrist.

How do you think he does it?
What makes him so good?
Ain`t got no distractions,
Can`t hear those buzzes and bells,
don`t see lights aflashin`
plays by sense of smell.
Always gets a replay,
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb an` blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

Even my usual 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.
