Manfred Mann - Blinded By The Light

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing,
the calliope crashed to the ground

The calliope crashed to the ground

but she was
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong, play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

Asked me if I needed a ride

yeah she was
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,

She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night

------ guitar solo ------

But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is

------ 'Chopsticks' solo ------

Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone,
reminding him of romance

The calliope crashed to the ground

Well she was
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
(Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat)
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
(In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat)
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
(With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round)
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
(With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground)
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
(Now Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand)
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
(And some bloodshot forget-me-not says, "Daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band")
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
(Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes)
Blinded by the light...
(She said "I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong")

She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
