Bored with Tommy, Cousin Kevin jokingly stands
him in front of the Youth Center's pinball machine.
Tommy stares into the mirrored surface backboard
and starts to play.
The machine comes to life. The youths begin to gather around him. He plays hypnotically,
beating the machine, and begins to
rack up an incredible score.
Lights flash, bells ring,
buzzers sound. The youths start cheering Tommy
on as the Narrator tumbles in from above him.
Sensation real audio
Tommy
I overwhelm as I approach you
Make your lungs hold breath inside!
Lovers break caresses for me.
Love distracted don't know why.
You'll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me.
I'm a sensation…
I'm a sensation!
(The Minister comes back to see Tommy's miraculous behavior. He runs out to get the
Walkers.)
They're moved by me and all I touch;
Hazy-eyed, they catch my glance.
Pleasant shudders shake their senses.
My warm momentum throws their stance
You'll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me.
I'm a sensation…
I'm a sensation!
Soon you'll see me. Can you feel me?
I'm coming…
Send your troubles dancing. You know the answer:
I'm coming…
I'm coming…
I'm a sensation!
(The youths begin to dance and celebrate wildly
as Tommy's pinball score continues to mount)
I leave a trail of rooted people
Mesmerized by just the sight.
All these lovers feel me coming,
Love as one-in love tonight.
You'll feel me coming,
A new vibration,
From afar you'll see me,
I'm a sensation…
I'm a sensation!
I'm a sensation…
I'm a sensation!
I am the light.
(The Narrator disappears as the Minister brings
Tommy's parents in. They stand watching in
amazement for a while and then Mrs. Walker
puts her arm around Tommy. The Walkers
lead Tommy off with new hope.)
