== Lyrics ==

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

</blockquote>
