Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Blinded by the Light lyrics

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 unpleasin'
Sneezin' and wheezin'
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, son
Into something strong
Play the song with the funky break"
And go-kart Mozart was checkin'
Out the weather chart
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!

But 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

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 eyes of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is

Some brimstone, baritone, anticyclone
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
Watchin' 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!

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

(Madman drummers, bummers)
Blinded by the light
(Indians in the summer with
A teenage diplomat) revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(In the dumps with the mumps)
Blinded by the light
(As the adolescent pumps his
Way into his hat) revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older) blinded by the light
(I tripped the merry-go-round)
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(With this very unpleasin'
Sneezin' and wheezin') blinded by the light
(The calliope crashed to the ground)
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(Now, Scott with a slingshot finally
Found a tender spot) revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(And throws his lover in the sand)
Blinded by the light
(Some bloodshot forget-me not said
Daddy's within earshot)
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(Save the buckshot, turn up the band)
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(Some silicone sister with a manager mister)
Blinded by the light revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
(Told me I got what it takes)
(She said, "I'll turn you on, son
Into something strong")

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