๐ถ The pinball wizard has such a supple wrist ๐ถ
๐ถ The deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball๐ถ
Wait, how did he go deaf?
I think he was born that way? I don't think the song specified.
The album leaves it ambiguous, but it's likely trauma from watching his father kill his mom's lover when he returned from military service.
Then being told you never saw it, you never heard it, you won't say nothing to no one..."
The whole song is a reference to spanking the monkey anyway.
