Deaf, dumb and blind boy
He's in a quiet vibration land.
Strange as it seems, his musical dreams
Ain't quite so bad.
Ten years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be.
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
A vague haze of delirium
Creeps up on me.
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He's dressed in a silver sparkled
Glittering gown
And his golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.
Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see.
Each sensation makes a note
In my symphony.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know.
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey
Together you'll ride.
He's in a quiet vibration land.
Strange as it seems, his musical dreams
Ain't quite so bad.
Ten years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be.
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
A vague haze of delirium
Creeps up on me.
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He's dressed in a silver sparkled
Glittering gown
And his golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.
Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see.
Each sensation makes a note
In my symphony.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know.
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey
Together you'll ride.

Nearly down to the ground." I read something in a book about Pete Townsends notes that this song is about finding "God". Definetely my favorite song on Tommy. By the way, i'm only 19 and tommy's been one of my favorite movies since the age of about 5. I saw them twice on their '06 and '07 tour. They kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They jammed during my generation for at least 10 minutes. They werent as good at the super bowl but you could tell that they tried their best.
If ur a big who fan, i would check out their new album "endless wire" some of its best songs include "man in a purple dress", "mike post theme" "black widows eye" and "endless wire"
Peace and even if Petey does like kiddy pornography, their music fuckin rocks
Even the intro is enough for me to classify it as an all time great in rock history. That soft quiet guitar intro, repeated with Daltrey singing the first lines:
Deaf dumb and blind boy, he's in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems his musical dream ain't quite so bad
...then the intro comes to an end, but it's not immediately clear when the song is going to get started... a sort of repeat of the intro but not quite, and in slow-motion as it were with the first drum bangs, finally in full force with manic Moon drumming away and the power chords crashing... aaahhhh that inimitable sound, there's nothing like it in the whole world... it's simply classic rock that will never die!
That says something.
"Sickness will surely take the mind

Fantastic song!
