Pinball Saved My Life Tonight
"Pinball Saved My Life Tonight" is a song by Elton John.
Lyrics
When I think of those arcade lights
Muggy nights the curtains drawn
In the amusement hall downstairs
Standing like statue really shoulda been there
Feeling out the bumpers perched on his electric chair
And it's deaf, dumb, blind, and I'm not even here no more
From Soho down to Brighton
My ball's out there rolling 'round the table floor
Pinball saved my life tonight
Bumper bear (bumper bear)
You almost sent me down the chute
Flipper bound hypnotized sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a silver ball
And silver balls are free to fly
Fly away, bye bye ...
