Pinball Wizard - Black Dice

Local Lad:

Ever since I was a young boy,

I’ve 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 a mean pin ball !

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 pin ball !

He’s a pin ball wizard

There has got to be a twist.

A pin ball 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 those buzzers and bells,

Don’t see lights a flashin'

Plays by sense of smell.

Always has a replay,

'n' never tilts at all…

That deaf dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pin ball.

I thought I was

The Bally table king.

But I just handed

My pin ball crown to him.

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 kind

Sure plays a mean pin ball!!!
