Pinball King

He was a shadow in the corner, just a boy without a name
No one saw the fire burnin’, deep inside his silent flame
But when the jukebox started hummin’, and the silver ball took flight
He lit up like a neon angel, playin’ through the lonely night


He's the Pinball King, rollin’ through the crowd
Lights are flashin’, hearts are crashin’, he’s makin’ mama proud
From zero to a hero, now the whole world sings
He found love in the rhythm of the ring-a-ding-ding
He’s the Pinball King


They used to laugh and walk away, never gave him half a glance
But now they gather just to see him, caught up in his trance
He flips the pain into glory, spins the sorrow into gold
With every tilt and bumper hit, his story’s being told


Now the girls are cryin’ “Honey!” and the boys all want his style
He’s got rhinestones on his jacket and a million-dollar smile
But deep down he’s still that dreamer, with a heart that used to ache
Now he’s dancin’ on the scoreboard, and love’s no longer fake


He's the Pinball King, rollin’ through the crowd
Lights are flashin’, hearts are crashin’, he’s makin’ mama proud
From zero to a hero, now the whole world sings
He found love in the rhythm of the ring-a-ding-ding
He’s the Pinball King


So if you’re feelin’ lonely, like the world don’t understand
Just find your silver bullet, and take fate in your hand
‘Cause somewhere in the silence, there’s a song you’ve yet to sing
And maybe you’ll be next to wear the crown of the Pinball King
