Tommy Medley

Flaming Lips Version
Sparks
Instrumental
Christmas
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
How can he be saved?
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
Pinball Wizard
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard,
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist
I'm Free
I'm free
I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free
I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me
See Me, Feel Me
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
Listening to you
I get the music
Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you
I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story
Instrumental
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?

Touch me, heal me
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him

And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free

And I'm waiting for you to follow me
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me

Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you
I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story

I shot the Flaming Lips rehearsing for the upcoming Who tribute. It's down and dirty but a lot of fun... sorry about the audio, that room gets really LOUD! -George
