Pinball Wizard (Interlude) Lyrics
[Intro: Spoken]
People don't pay to see Reginald Dwight
They pay to see Elton John
[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I must've played them all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
[Chorus]
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
[Post-Chorus]
(How do you think he does it?) I don't know
(What makes him so good?)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
He's a pinball wizard, he scores a trillion more
A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord
He's scoring more, he's scoring more
People don't pay to see Reginald Dwight
They pay to see Elton John
[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I must've played them all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
[Chorus]
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
[Post-Chorus]
(How do you think he does it?) I don't know
(What makes him so good?)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
He's a pinball wizard, he scores a trillion more
A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord
He's scoring more, he's scoring more

Genius Annotation
This interlude utilizes the 1968 The Who’s song to frame the almost uncontrollable rise of Elton John’s international fame, as he translates the frustrations of his constricting circumstances into his music.
